The Dear Departed Laughter

Childrens laughter in the dark
A drunken fool dies in the park
Heedless of the endless perade
Of this current quotas serrendade

A painted face swings from a pole
The laughing children will take is soul
They dance around him 'play with us now!'
The drag him down 'play with us, you clown'

Drifting in his a narcotic haze
He laughs at them with a clouded gaze
They grace his tacky skin with their lips
They sing a lovely song as he trips

Hooks protrude through his pale skin
They'll torture him with pleasure at they're whim
His distorted features twisted and torn
He suffers his pleasure at this new type of porn

Blades slide swiftly beneath his skin
A few quick cuts, no more than a trim
He Screams and laughs as they pull back his face
He's chained forever in the horrid place

Such pleasure never known before
He thinks back at his rotting whore
If only he knew then such pleasure as this
He would share it with the world with bliss

With his new mission to educate these worms
He entangles a new student, watching her squirm
He thinks perhaps she will enjoy his bites
As he entoduces the world to the cenobites

    That was creepy at first, but turned into such a lavishly dark piece. I enjoyed every word and every stanza, and your words helped my imagine every movement, although sometimes I did not want to, lol. Excellent write and thank you for sharing!
