Blessed
Blessed are those cursed to bear the bite marks gifted to them by those who raised them
Blessed are those who suffered the brunt of violence that spawned of a bottle
Blessed are those who whimper like a scared dog at the sound of approaching footsteps
Blessed is the dog cowering at the raised hand
Blessed are those who bite at the hand reaching out to pet them
Blessed are those condemned to consume the poison the bottle contains
Blessed are those that view fear as their only means of gaining respect
Blessed is he with the raised hand
