Dampness sets upon my soul,
my torment drives me wild
Being tortured by those ghastly thoughts,
the horrors of a child
Mom was just a drunken whore,
her stench still fills my head
She deserved: the fate she bore that day,
its better that she’s dead
Sometimes she sold me to her friends,
hell; I was just a kid
The heinous things they did to me,
especially when I hid
Now I’m here to cleanse the world,
to wash away their sins
The nasty ones, those dirty whores,
that’s where I will begin
I lurk the streets to find a bitch,
a trampy little brat
“You want a date” I’ll give them one,
they think my wallets fat
They get inside my dirty van,
this ride will be their last
Prayers won’t save them; nothing will,
from transgressions of the past
Binding them by hands and feet,
I slowly strip them bare
The sweet sounds of their violent screams,
I smell fear in the air
Then wash them in a scalding bath,
they’re sanctified by fire
Water so hot it melts their souls,
lighting my desires
To rinse them in a tub of ice,
it chills them to the bone
All the while I strap my knife,
this deadly blade I hone
I cut the lies out one by one,
tear wicked from their flesh
Anguish eats them up alive,
they cry and start to thresh
Writhing from the pain,
as now I rinse them all in bleach
The final stage of cleaning,
for those to whom; I’ve tried to preach
I bleed them dry to save their souls,
the taint runs out blood red
Saved now from their filthy ways,
those nasty festered beds
Cleaning them off; dressing them up,
cheerfully they all wear white
Smiling faces so happy to be,
saved now from the night
Some have halos, some wear wings,
they are as innocent as day
Exactly who they should have been,
before going astray
No more putrid mom’s to be,
no more child selling whores
All have been baptized into my world,
settled all their wanton scores
The freezer is where I’ll hang them now,
in rows their neatly stacked
In order of their sins and age,
why they first were tracked
No more sins will they commit,
all cleaned of what they’ve done
The world is now a better place,
then when I’d first begun

A wonderfully dark and chilling tale you've told, the imagery is delightfully raw and gritty! A superb piece superb rhyme and flow to boot! Congrats on the gold and good luck in the final!

Ouch!
A brilliant dark write with outstanding imagery. The descriptions of the killer's MO and the AN's rock. Your killer is a 'true psychopath'.

::chills:: This is a very chilling tale and reminds me a bit of the 1st season of Dexter.
Brilliantly written, and the ryhme scheme is good too.
Good luck Fellow Poet

WOW, this has a Rob Zombie feel to it, especially with your authors notes. My favorite part of this was this part
I cut the lies out one by one,
tear wicked from their flesh
Anguish eats them up alive,
they cry and start to thresh
Well done.
