Embryonic Testaments - Cruciform Injection

Eyes of the future will realize

To their surprise, my demise

Predetermined cause of death

Lack of breath, failing test

Cares are spent on rotting ears

This you gave the hospital years

My blood on your giving hands

This life I took gave no demands

See me in agony

Give me uncertainty

This is what you take from me

I’m alive

Embryonic testaments

Clues to repentance

Fresh meat — stay away

Broken toys for me to play

Forming arms, eyes and legs

This is choice

The cry of a newborn

Is nothing but a painful noise
