Stratum

The sensation of being dead while alive
 Reflects a dual thrust of their present being
 Atrocity eluded their intended end
 Waiting was a path leading to
 their missed destiny of death
 No longer a sequence, but an unsettling alliance
 Memories of unbridled suffering
 Brutal suppression of the inherent humanity
 The shadow of the body unrelenting in its exposure
 This imperative and universal
 aim is a single-minded attempt to reduce
 The sphere of the mind
 Reduced to the pondering of it's material other
 The somatic stratum
 The wretched physical existence
 refers to this world of bodies
 The ability to refuse participation
 To impose false divisions upon our species
 Those who would define the new discourse
 Tended to erect insurmountable walls
 A discourse designed to intimidate and control
 A discourse of disempowerment
 Constructed as a realm so i
 ncommensurate and inaccessible
