DRAMATIC MONOLOGUE Poem: And he wept for her was no longer human, by Cassandra Cornejo

“Oh gracious being that looks at us bugs below
I beg and plead
Take away the miracle oh so miraculously given to me
Force me to regurgitate the elixir of eternity
Make me man once more

I have solved all of my woes
All that had troubled me
I have established reign in all lands
Above and below from where I stand
Oh loving and forgiving Deity
Make me finite!

For the love that is in all of your creations
I stand here and give my all to you
Please Lord
You who is king of all
I mere fragment of your crown
Take away this wish I had asked of you

I have learned my lesson
Know all too well the hubris that once consumed me
I now know why you made me person
I know why people are people
Why life is how it is
So please my father
I pray for nothing more than to meet you at the gates
An ask I know I will not regret”
