corps

gaze down upon me

have I ever been born

again and again

gaze down

lifeless though I am

I breath life so I am

we are the lifeless

so it is told

the troops so extraordinary

and appearance so ordinary

fade to black

fade to the back

have I ever been born

can you see

when you gaze down upon me

look into the eyes

they look into yours

soulless is so full

get it

compensate

this patience compensatory

on societal norms

of rules discriminatory

to the being of my brethren

we are not the dead

you can see me can’t you

you can feel me can’t you

it is all in here

gazing out and into you

knowing knowledge without truly knowing

we gaze upon you

in envy and life’s wonder

gaze down upon me back

would I ever have been borne
