Underground Ruler

Reverberated calls echo against these walls,

Countless clashes against my temple when they pass

Through them;

And an equal blow against my core,

Like the running of intestines:

Slow and deliberate pains.

Instead of despairing

I simply exhibit wild and fanatical merriment!

And although I've come to understand

The earthworms, and the maggots have consoled me,

I feel as though I got to know Liberty as well,

And every time she catches my gaze

I find company in her flustered, red cheeks.

If this is duality then call me omniscient

For I truly know all.

Even if I lay deep in the ground,

Perhaps I will be ruler within these walls

Which reverberate my calls.
