Another cracked-skull daydream,
torn blinded and screaming,
back to twilight remembrance,
into the midst of your world,
reawakening old conflicts.
Shell-shocked, confused and broken,
catatonic from past encounters,
behind frontline pawns marching,
I hear your voice barking spite,
rekindling my warrior vengeance.
I am a fucking holocaust,
a new era redefined war crime,
like a gardener running rampant,
in the unkempt hedgerows,
of your overgrown emotions.
This is my graveyard,
an undertaker leeching warcraft,
only I can bury living or dead,
or exercise these silent ghosts,
leeching the life from your soul.

The title of this piece, 'Condeminate' is a portmanteau of the words condemn and contaminate.
This piece can be read one of two ways.
1. It is about thinking back, daydreaming as such about all the people in your life who have or do still annoy you, friends, enemies, family members, lovers, exes. These are the pissed off thoughts towards them.
2. Self hate. It is a reflection on self-hate and your own conflicts against and with yourself.

Thank you very much. It is very much like a war, a conflict, or to borrow a line from one of my favourite bands, it's like a "war inside my head".

I really like the potent "blood lust" if you will. The imagery is very powerful and brings the reader into your frame of mind. I especially liked the gardener reference. I've always been a fan of a little spiteful humor. Very, very good!

Thank you very much. I do a lot of spiteful humour. Not to mention a lot of spite, without the humour lol.
