High in dark waters
A pale light glistens
Beckoning me
Towards the airy world above
Where the whales breach and blow
For the free birds and blue sky
——
'Change your fate,' they call and groan
We'll sell you all you need
To powerize yourself
A new vibration in the light
Just believe
Believe and buy like us
———
The mass of claws all reaching
For sinking dregs of whale's fin
And scraps the birds let fall
It's just a self-exchange
Old claws for old fins
Devour yourself; empower yourself
It's priceless science
——
The claws evolve to fins
Evolve to wings evolve to hands
But only if you buy the sauce
A wing eats claws in fin soup
While hands eat wings from paper plates
Just to drown and sink down
——
To my anonymous claws
All powerless
Pulling scraps from the swollen corpses
Of those evolved to power
Whose salted flesh pulls away
From pale, broken bones
About the Creator
Judah LoVato
My collection of sometimes decent writing
Which I've left "there" for seekers to seek
Though I lack the grandeur of that Pirate King
Perhaps these pebbles can be a light
In this life, this laughing tale
