Breathing is hard to do when you are submerged, in water or milk or guilt or fear or anxiety, it doesn't matter because each and every liquid or feeling will suffocate as much as any rope will do when tightened around your neck.
That it is why when the powerful wrap the noose around the collective thick neck as they do with unwanted chickens because turkeys taste better in November, they don't have to stray far from the truth of the matters gripping the beating hearts of shrunken humans with their hands experiencing too much reality.
What is before them is not what is behind, and the need to authenticate the answers to the questions are no longer relevant or riddled with red marks all over the pages and the highlighted sections with meaning have been burned from all the books by the great willpower of the hands holding these black objects and screaming to their inferiors.
Making sense is hard as breathing has become when sand is thrown into your eyes and forced down your throat, and you can feel the sand working its way through your intestinal tract as if it is a worm eating you from the inside out because someone didn't care enough the brave people of the land and the souls of the captured remained in chains and felt heat around them.
When the absent ghosts and controlling goblins rejoice, make no mistake of their intentions, for they see your pain and don't care one morsel of a bite from a bitter cookie you are choking on and trying to spit out ingested poison, knowing it is too late for you but not for them, and yes, they smile wide because again for them you have lost.
Once again you open your mouth and gobble their sickness disguised as sweetness right out of their palms, like an old dog unable to learn new tricks or use the malfunctioning parts of your brain they have purposely turned off, as you take one of your last breaths you must know the seriousness of the situation, the way you clutch at the empty dark before you.
Close your eyes as that is the way of the land now.
