Seen, sung, soothed. Heard, felt, moved. Brave. Ashamed.

Crowned, rare, rude. Burnt, bare, cool. Honest, maniacal.
Slaves, half, used. Sleek, scarred, nude. Noble. Costly.

Stagnant and stunning, graceful and cunning. Humorous. Us. Us.
Logical and clumsy, vengeful and loving. Humor Us. Us. Us. Us.
