oh, boy ... a poem!

Aren't you the lucky ones?! More poetry, freshly exuded from the nasty insides of my brain ...



                    UNLEASHED AS CARNAGE


                    1
                    so much violence
                    riles within,
                    every day,
                    a phantasm of bloodshed,
                    of killing, of revenge,
                    a non-stop cinema
                    of bottled rage
                    unleashed as carnage
                    2
                    there is nothing
                    to restrain resentment,
                    there is no chain
                    upon the beast
                    which seethes inside
                    with fiery eyes
                    and a lust for chaos
                    to salve its pain
                    3
                    these sufferings
                    have no escape,
                    they form a cone
                    of increasing ache,
                    an endless spiral
                    of crushing agony
                    all focused in
                    on obliteration
                    4
                    no worth, no value,
                    no point in life,
                    all emptiness, loss,
                    anguish and dread;
                    we descend
                    without reversal
                    to lower, darker,
                    meaner states
                    5
                    doomed to failure,
                    what will free?
                    there is no light,
                    there is no promise,
                    only veils and lies,
                    corridors to nothing,
                    mindless draining tasks
                    and no way to succeed
