1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- chemically altered, momentarily uplifted the human drug becomes the human host trepidatious fragility magically transformed then violently ripped away such turbulent insecurity spiritual flagellation reveling in your humiliation narcotic emotion abruptly revoked intoxicated on your own victimhood reckless elation another's violation unforgivable? unfathomable you manipulate your puppets to do your shameful bidding while you sit back and bathe in the carnage
2.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Vultures encircling the appointed pariah Rabidly panicking the tribe unites in contempt of a common enemy scapegoat for all that ails The wronged now wrong others guilty or not The cycles of abuse perpetual The secret satisfaction of pure punishment The foulest side of human nature rears its ugly head The radical as archaic and punitive as the spiritually extreme A way to cleanse the clan of the deviating A cloak worn by the self righteous to mask their own shame Projection, deflection A means of diverting blame No tolerance for ambivalence Victim replicates oppressor Cast out in a tribunal most secretive blocked, suppressed, and gagged Robbed of your own narrative Watch your own history rewritten before you Cryptic intentions lace each and every motive
3.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A figure most polarizing charmingly nefarious I will gut you from within Break you down, leave you dazed and destroyed and live inside your skin Run you through a maze of contradiction Commanding orders in the midst of mania In times of distress I will regress to reptilian means of dominance over your will Dehumanize to demonize Standing amongst the remnants of what once was your life My powers are reaped from the power I have stripped from you Erecting one's self in the ruin of another And I will smite you without an once of pentitence
4.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- let the turgid waves swallow me whole dispose of this rotten vessel one less human upon the earth parasites ravage me strength in numbers, their destructiveness formidable one less human tumor upon the earth lead me to the leper colony once again what the masochist seeks the masochist gets one less human tumor upon the earth --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anti humanist in honor of selfishness Crushing the "lesser" man Your comfort reaped from the trodden peasantry Tyrannical moralizing of the amoral Their maniacal reign! Arrogance and dominance Annihilation of tolerance Adversary of protection Steamroll all life forms Leave a smoldering planetary carcass for your life-draining offspring! Your lord will provide what you've taken away Raptured to imaginary paradise leaving wanton decay Destructive militance from alleged reformists Repellent insolence silencing voices of dissent Replicate the odious tactics of your adversary ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- A lukewarm body A sitting corpse Human punching bag A glutton for the punisher Chained by the neck to the relentless gears of "progress" Forever... on the front lines of abuse In the dankest depths, trenches of toil Grind you to a pulp with no remorse Hand straight to mouth the rations of subservience An exercise in soul disintegration That's compulsory And yet some are hollow enough to beg for more --------------------------------------------------------------------------
7.
------------------------------------------------------------------------- destroy this vessel of shame no conscience for repugnant behaviours viral punishment not befitting enough wake in self disgust the sobering light of repulsion a black hole of transgression and despair only moral vacancy makes the blood flow please! bring battery upon this mind and body for crimes of mendacity spiraling into shame debasing of the self blacklist me from humanity wallow in a mental sewer this being cannot be restrained only bludgeoned, bled and destroyed
