MARINATED FOR THE RAVEN


Oh starving raven waiting for this very day


As you esuriently peck on the reddened flesh off my rotting carcass


How do you put up with its rancid taste?


Is my flesh not bitter, with hatred for the people I didn’t care about?


Is it not sour with desire, for things I still craved?


Is it not hot with anger for the people who came in my way?


Is it still slimy with my covert selfishness hidden by my overt smile?


Is it not salty with my pointless pride?


Oh raving raven is there still enough love to make it sweet


As all my pomp and glory is now heaped up as meat


Oh feathered brother!  How could you relish what you eat!
