Ordinance

	You cruel king
	did you mention that there are chosen ones
	who come forth
	we wear the crown
	god used to wear
	this gruelling weight
	it feels right
	feel the choking
	blackness of a new year
	so familiar
	so devastating
	you cruel king
	you cruel king
	maybe completed
	maybe divided in six
	accomplished by foreign hands
	it is here
	where are you
	it distorts the ambiguous
	feeds life with decay
	thirst and death
	immanent in ill-gotten souls
	it is here
	where are you
