Lab rats

We were conceived in the mind
of another being
and permitted to be
for the benefit of his kind

We were born in this prison
with no purpose but to serve
in the Great Hall of his knowledge
And when that curiosity is sated

we may be sacrificed
displaying our innards
or be rendered and burned
depending on his will

In our cells
our muted mouths
recall no sins
our eyes are wide and blank
