Breedless

I suffer from an inhuman condition

Almost empty of my empathy

Whisper mantras for compassion

I am losing the human in me

Maybe my mother was a Hydra

Maybe my father Unseelie

Maybe my family came from Lycia

I can't deny the other creatures in me

I am not whole

I am unkind

I'm not like Eve

But I feel fine

My blood is not pure

My body, untrue

And I'd rather be breedless

Than be like you

Too many people

Too many signals

Too many egos

Too much greed

Too many footprints

Too much forgotten

Too many luxuries disguised as needs

I fought with Adam

In the garden

I tried to warn him long ago

Now in this strange world

Who are the monsters?

How can you tell?

How will you know?

I am not whole

I am unkind

I'm not like Eve

But I feel fine

My blood is not pure

My body, untrue

And I'd rather be breedless

Than be like you
