The American Born Daughter of Mars
Nursed on civilian blood--
Raised on the seminal fluids of the warmachine--
Leglessly, she dances--
Her eyes seared into cataracts--
She only sees mass-marketed memories in her minds eye--
Leglessly, she dances--
She accounts in old math and it never adds up--
With victims picking up the tab--
Leglessly, she dances--
She is her own distraction--
She is her father's daughter--
Leglessly, she dances--
Rot, ash, debris and human suffering are her dance floor--
Screams, explosions, and the staccato beat of the fire fight her music--
Leglessly, she dances--
She mainlines crude to feed her addictions--
She gets rich from the pockets of the poor--
Leglessly, she dances--
She'll rape your sons--
She'll mind-fuck your daughters--
Leglessly, she dances--
She claims to have the high ground--
And she hasn't got a leg to stand on.

Do I detect some "Whore of Babylon" references? This is pretty intense ;)
very much agreed.
(something's happened?...to cause this piece?)
@NoGraySunflowers - Hmmm. Ithink more highly of the Whore of Babylon than that...
@belskaylar - No, just me blowing off my usual steam.
@belskaylar - I actually made a sculpture piece that inspired this, I'll have to post pictures at some point.
@Edgebreak - i was just coming to ask if there would be pics ; )
?thee is...well? msg?
Sculpture? Got my attention.
Heh. What did I ever do to you? Did it have visuals? I'm sending you man jewelry infused with good healing vibes and lavander.
Joking aside, this is interesting. I like it, I think.
Damn! This is so well done. I love it. Scary, but good. The real kind of scary.
@MooncatBlue - Heh, hey you, I told you that it was a bit too creepy to send to you, so I am making you something hopefully less "ominous". Hopefully...
@adventofreason - Thank you so much.
@NoGraySunflowers - I'll post pictures at somepoint when I am not on public computers.
@Edgebreak - heh. well as long as it wasn't personally directed. heh.
@MooncatBlue - No, it wasn't directed at you. If I were going to make something about you rather than for you it would have to be all spun-sugar, crystalized light, and chocolate covered moonbeams with a whiskey chaser.
@Edgebreak - aw, that was a beautiful and exceptionally talented save. heh. smooth like good rain, you are. i should blush for effect, even.
@MooncatBlue - Aww shucks ma'am. No need to blush. (Heh... me smooth? That is ironic and amusing.)
