I wish I could shoot lasers from my mouth
A righteous, indomitable blast of human force
Directly from my most powerful weapon

The blast would be undeniable, and impossible to miss
A man made super nova, siphoned into a concentrated blast
Powered entirely by my lungs and my heart

The earth would be covered in scars, miles long
Masked with ocean, or forest
In mother earths nature, concealing what has hurt her

My voice would be a siren of dirge and doom
A beacon through which the pain of many could flow
Bringing physical form to the unquantifiable

I wish you could see how loud I'd scream
In defiance of time, trickster god, and cruel cruel fate
Air would melt, and rock would simply burn

As the giant incinerating laser of revenge burst forth from me
Green and bright as lightning
The laser would send a signal

Hundreds of miles high, letting the entire world know we've lost you
So that all eyes could turn skyward and everyone could tell
That a voice cries out against what hes witnessed

I wish I had that laser, and I wish my fury could be made manifest that way
I could speak my rage into the very crust of the earth
So that no blasphemy of man, or amalgam of the void

Could ever compare to how very much I will miss you

If you have to go, then go. Get out and never come back.
Return yourself to the curse of time, I get it, believe me, I get it
But Ill never let you be forgotten

Any chance I get I'll speak your name
So who and what you...were
Will reverberate infinitely


And the wealth you granted us by knowing you
Can never be ill spent
2015
A friend of mine killed himself. Very unexpectedly. My first reaction was being angry. And for a couple hours I just yelled. And after my episode of processing a sudden, very tragic moment in my life, I wanted to be able to shoot a giant laser out of my mouth.
