[enchangement]

the music is gone and with it
the small favors and familiars they brought
do you miss it?
do you miss them?
the colors were brighter
the sounds were louder
and some trick of the mind forgot
we were in a cage
or didn't and just
observed the decorations on the bars

Who is worshipping them? If our morale is low then all we do is feed Fear, Rage and Sorrow - those who actively torment us. Furthermore, despair hinders judgement, and languor enfeebles resolve. If we are to fight when the time comes, we must first survive.

Oh, and you should be aware: were we not to feed them any emotion, they would discard us for our uselessness. They have confirmed that.

of course they would; they consider themselves our betters.

who are you? soldier, warrior, leader?

Why should they think otherwise? We are at their mercy. So we must not quail.

[His canon knows its history, it just chooses to butcher and compress it...]

[hotspurred]

God have mercy. What befalls it?

Your meaning escapes me, other than who you claim is at fault. Surely not.
