simplicity for death by sea
she ceased herself so peacefully
she begged him with dramatic pleas
his forceful hand collapsed her knees

simplicity for death by greed
he viewed his wealth like poverty
the voice inside consumed his breath
it ushered him to faithful death

disarm for those who yearn to bleed
you've stolen her identity
her motive now is out to steal
she seeks a morbid easy meal

birth for those who love her face
her history holds much disgrace
self conciously she was obese
yet in her heart she slept with peace
