| Becoming Morrigan Barbara O' Meara |
what arrogance you show
strutting around
like you own this place
wearing your inhumanity
like a badge of honor
you desecrate the very air
with the stench of your entitlement
your violence reeks of weakness
you feed on fear
& harness power through pain
you prey like a monster
& i have been here
silently watching you
all
this
time
i watched you violate Her daughters
i watched you enslave Her sons
i watched you poison the very well
from which you drink
you betray your own heart
you make weak your own will
& now
in Her name
i have come
wearing her wrath
bearing your fate
bringing victory to victims
i feed on monsters
i have been sent to reclaim you
devour you
decay you
turn you over
like compost
until you are humus
only then you will know humility
only there you will remember sovereignty
this is your reckoning
