What has deformed man,
so cruel and sadistic,
perverse and damaged
by pungent erode?
Peeling the layers
unveil voyeuristic
darkness so deadly
in gnawing decode.
Why this insatiable
suckle of poison,
ruthless and grim
in destructive concoct?
Why mutilation,
defiled by dark passion,
darkling contemptuous
and somber, distort?
Canker, this fiend,
unrelenting and bitter,
wicked afflict,
turning body to corpse.
Call on decorum,
all noxious, sinister:
change sharpened razor
for honest remorse!
Propagate cryptogram,
holy cipher,
germinate
love
by releasing
lost lifer!

In a helping note, Myra, is the piece's very last word supposed to be life? You have an r at the end of the word.
(Just wanted to help you out, dearest Myra!)
I really do love your great wording. You are truly a master of it, dear. Best wishes in the contest with this! (By the way! I adore the rhyme scheme. I am not big on rhyme, but you appear to be a master at that too!)
Hugs!

Thank you, Mike.
Lifer is someone jailed, emotionally or otherwise. I tried to bring light to the attack of darkness.

Damn more now this is one deep piece of writing? All I see are visions of are self made gods who care not for anyone but themselves. Even those Helots who whorship at their doorsteps are garbage to be despossed of.

You did not wrote this...
but for the worth of it
it has no meaning at all -
-
How do you mean I did not write this?
Please explain that one to me.
-
Wow. How rude does one have to be before he makes a list of enemies?
-
-
It may be close to the day of the dead, as I see you have dragged out the bones of the evil ones...lol
'That was certainly unexpected.
However, even in this genre' you have excelled.
Your imagery & expression has once again tipped the scales.

why was human made of clay
why are babies made of flesh
pork chops
cucumbers
what's your nose doing inside the sinister
if not pointing it
it is interesting how absurd can it get
to stop one asking for better
make them feel ashamed for asking worse
then wearing it as a flag
are you a soccer player
a singer, a karl, a mother goose?
we could have a lot more musicians
