masquerade of angels

i ascend into the light

i feel my feet leave the ground

i'm immersed in kinetic warmth as i come closer to meeting the source in the sky

i look down to see a rotting world beneath me

a large structure begins to emerge from the light

that's the last i see before my consciousness slips from me

when i open my eyes

i am surrounded by beings

as i lie naked

they stare down upon me

i cannot see their faces

i only see their silhouette as i lie here paralyzed

without the presence of words

they begin to speak to me

as if they have entered my mind

they speak with telepathy

you were born as human slave
