blackheart ii

I dutifully wonder
how is it that humans are so inhuman
when equipped with a prideful, yet repetitive task
to do anything that is not changing the world?
Not that a world-changer can be wild
but such irrelevant archetypes of human nature
should never be excuses to avoid the heart
for life-saving ambitions are hibernating within
impatiently waiting to never be asked to sleep
or to stab itself with a blunt knife, repeatedly.

Yes, I'm speaking to you,
the world's only revenant.
