Homo ex Machina (Free verse) by Numen
There's a song I did not pen
But it's mine all the same
I've sung it more than the man who did
The words were formed for my tongue
And you should hear them pour from my lips
Just as the muse that inspired said song
Bent to kiss the wrong brow
Cupid took an arrow into his chubby hand
And when he shot it, it went awry
And fell into another's breast
As you can see or more so hear
I took said song to be my own
And so it shall be
That you shall come into what is mine
I'll replace the foolish arrow
With a vengeful knife
And thus you shall be free from your vow of love
If death til you part is how it must be
I'll not stall it any more
Muse and Cherub make room, Fate will be dethroned too
