Callous thoughts
infect cerebral cortex;
blood lusting plague
feasting
on gangrene memories.
The stench of yesterday's
maggot-covered trash
resonates -
tainting nasal passages
with vile reminders
of un-recyclable hungers.
Insatiable thirst teased
with a promised oasis
of liquefied satisfaction;
soured by animosity,
boiled to perfection
in a cauldron of bitterness.
Personal evolution,
rewound
to eons passed;
a time of vicious play
in an amusement park
of damnable darkness.
Heated terrain trampled
with barbaric brutality
wielding double edged
kriss dagger to carve
right of passage
in decaying corpses slain.
Gray collar snaps
in black and white tug-o-war;
fine line erased,
light lays slaughtered
- annihilated -
in victory
by shadowed self.
