SACRIFICIAL LAMB
by Rïén Kelso

Down by the fire.
A ritual’s taking place.
A million masks.
They hide my face.
Up in the fields.
I cannot wait to go.
Before I burn in hell below.
I know it’s me.
It’s me they want.
I’ll never want a funeral flaunt.
A clam that’s cool.
A calm that’s in need.
Just one more song to serenade.
The deed is done.
I’m carried out.
To the back like a broken hog.
I await the axe.
It’s grinding up.
Spill my blood.
And drink it up.

A terrible way to roast a lamb. Should be done OVER the fire, on a spit.
Don't know about that cool clam...or did you mean 'calm' there, too?
Interesting to think of the thoughts of the sacrifice.
Or, is this a HUMAN sacrifice?...(quickly rolls silently away).
