The Others
They willingly violate the sanctity
of the Human Trust
They lust after your
thoughts
attention
body
soul
Now I can tell Donny where the love went
They consumed it then expelled it
as excrement
They can paste your face onto the body of
any other being
Seeing little to no value in the
God in you
the part of you
that bears the unique epithet
of your soul
Quantity of flesh
Over quality of relationship
brings them to an uninspired climax
and eruption of detachment
In opposition to spiritual attachment
they will never let you in
and are quick to see you out
Their appetite for spiritual cannibalism
cannot be quenched
cannot be convinced
to spare your life
So you best hold your life
In such high regard
they cannot reach it
and even if they seek it
It will be impalpable
to the forked
tongue
