The Articles Of Defilement Poem by Patti Masterman

The Articles Of Defilement



1 At least living doesn't make me sick
2 he said so whose fault is it if there is
3 nothing inside here you are the one
4 who makes what you are you if you didn't
5 get made right is there blame to be distributed
6 so who decides who will get the blame for
7 your botched construction job but hey
8 they say we are each the maker of what
9 we become so there is really no one to blame
10 you become what the seed inside says
11 you will become the limits of the centrifuge
12 of your being as its spinning sideways through time
13 quick figure it out before it all goes away again
14 who is to blame why is there nothing inside
15 instead of something living doesn't make you sick
16 where is the fault who is hidden inside here
17 who makes it right what did you become
18 who botched this surgery who made the first mistake
19 what are the limits before time goes away
20 and living is always shrinking the fault is nothing found
21 you didn't do it right blame is a botched job
22 blame the maker blame the seed the centrifuge off center
23 spinning out a shrinking universe make it right
24 screw the surgery it will only get worse
25 it was a mistake all just a mistake a shrinking
26 botched by the maker no blame can fix it
27 the limits are living being being sick of living no fault
28 at least living doesn't make us sick its not
29 making me sick I am not my cancer I am only the
30 sickness of living.. see rule number 1 again
