What more do you want?
How many more have to die?
How many more will live,
but will come see me years later,
begging for Xanax or Oxycontin
so they can endure the memory
of burning in sacrifice to you?
I don’t remember it but I know
the smell of burning flesh.
Your brand is on my forearm.
I too was offered to you,
but you didn’t kill me,
and now I spend my days
bandaging those burned
in sacrifice to you
and the wounded keep on coming
