Sacrifice Poem by Petra Novakova

Sacrifice



Milking every drop of their lives
From shapeless masses of flesh
Quivering on the stone-cold floor

Bottling the sap like ocean of pain
Into steel-glass vials labelled death
To profit from the labor of our hate

This is how the world of men ends
With a whimper and broken cries
Of those sacrificed for the sake of one
