Sanity Is A Crushed Butterfly

I will ask you now

To grab my mind

With your

Thought claws

 

Eat my soul

With your

Thought cutlery

 

Let us consume

Everything together

Including ourselves

Leave nothing

For the rich to eat

But death

 

Start a cult

For the reason

Of starting a cult

 

Burn our bodies

Side by side

For sanity

Is a crushed butterfly.
