overtime isn't paid anymore
afterhours get pitted and patched
no match for sore muscles
receipts unable to be issued
tissue or water to cleanse
reserved for who?
not you, or you
bowing - to bend, to kneel
is sending unheard
wordless offering from
those least able to afford it
the rich usually switch it all off
as if
receiving prayers depended on them
unacknowledged who?
I think you know it's not you
it never was
because what you wanted and what you are
represent the scars that scare them
