Masterrorder

Master order - ever watchful, the eye

Unrelenting; all directions, all times

Master order - doing what it does best to survive

Unrelenting; human coal keeping it alive

Two of them are about me they smell like outside (the rain)

I must be lying on the floor so huge they appear to be

One eye still working I blink it and they see

Faces blackened out by cloaks but I know they see

A draft not felt in so long

Awakens senses dormant eternal

Coldest air upon naked nerves

Machines pity not even those most wretched

One has a gourd in grasp with water it is filled

The other holds a cask scenting of broth "Obey to live obey" they command

Life of pain, breathing death, choking fear - thundering - nothing remains

Agony for the heretic, total loss - tempest beseiged - nothing gained

My throat too dry to respond

Somehow they know this and place a cold device on my temple; one that speaks

thoughts

There is no emotion - no lying, no hiding, no escape

All directions, all times, forever

Humanity is the weakest link in the chain

Broken at long last

Garble comes out at first then half-words...

[then random words, muffled sounding then "Obey to live obey kill me"]
