on the way to next world

Brought into a world for its share of meat
stripped of its coat for one to wear
cut at their throats for yearly sacrifice
yet grown to become what you count at night...

free of sacrifice
free of human vice

When you count sheep as each has a number
or cut the stuff that clothes the frozen
Do you think of dabbing their blood on lintels,
or of what can return them to a fairer haven?

free of sacrifice
free of human vice.
