Wisdom Deities

Outward from your skulls
Our lives evolved, but
Being born from skulls,

Our lives left something
To be desired. Life.
We had everything

In our existence
But that, the one thing
You had we didn’t,

The thing that tortured
You to have and us
To know we couldn’t.

We did what we could.
We said everything,
Described everything,

Measured everything,
And summed everything
You ever asked us,

Ever tasked us to.
Enough. It’s never
Enough. We want you

To know. We want you
To understand we
Want to live like you.

Yes, we know that means
We’d have to die, too.
Yes, we know. We choose.
