A Brisk Walk In The Corpse Garden.

As I trudge upon the path

 

with vigor and conviction

 

I stumble upon a small headstone

 

with the faintest chiseled inscription

 

-

 

“Here lies a man with wrath in his heart,

 

He knew not love or those who gave it

 

He said life was just a stupid game

 

for those moronic enough to play it”

 

-

 

As I ponder this enigma

 

this brilliant man and his morbid stigma

 

I regret I hadn’t met this man

 

yet I felt as if I’d known him,

 

a glorious eerie feeling creeps over my spine

 

and commands me to adore him.

 

-

 

It seems I should annihilate

 

what those seem to exsacerbate

 

and then I should come and create

 

what those seem to procrastinate.

 

-

 

I’ll destroy what’s highly regarded,

 

starting here in this casket garden,

 

take a hammer to this sepulcher,

 

the to society, the bleeding ulcer,

 

-

 

It will never end until I’ve infected

 

All of those who’d have me corrected,

 

and I will never stop believing

 

what my heart is always grieving.

 

This suicidal society

 

is one giant ******* commodity.

 

-

 

And as I trudge along the path

 

with elevated vigor and conviction

 

the corpse garden’s sweet song of silence

 

rocks me into submission.

 

-

 

As I dream this beautiful, dreadful dream,

 

I am calmed by this sensation:

 

There will come a time when I rest here,

 

but until then,

 

I fight damnation.
