De Dea Magisterium


iconBook II - Exodus

Chapter 4

1Day after day they broke our backs
2Digging their trenches and cutting their stones
3Like savages they enslaved us
4The wardens not satisfied with their cruelty
5Set about their favourite play, to create new species
6They created the cow from a water beast
7They created the pig from a brush scavenger
8And when they had finished extracting their pleasure
9Rubbing the life force onto their dead grey skin
10They threw us the carcases
11Our frames grew strong,
12our bellies tight our hearts cold with hate.
13The scales of our deformed skin sealed with the cold and pain
14Condemned to hell upon a planet of such beauty.
