A Warning To The Mind Reader

Follow the invious paths of my mind

Overshadowed by oaks of insecurity

Step not into shadow's darkness

For those paths are still unchartered

Go by the grace of your God

Pray your protection be withstanding

What lies ahead may be disturbing

Should you quench your desire

To probe further

Let me offer a standardized warning

"Contents may be unsuitable to some viewers."

With all your senses

Placed on high alert

Stay on the paving stones!

Enter knowing you have been warned!

High pitched screams of despair

Flow through the air like wingless birds

While the pave stones float in a thick river of blood

Deformed anomalies of bodies parade in fields of dying brown grass

Playing instruments to the tune of the screaming

Mixed breed animals devour one another

Between minutes of giving birth

Washing down their meal by sipping at the river

Thunder roars intermittently

As lightning strikes unsuspecting souls

Leaving charred, black, smoldering zombies roaming

This infinite land

A drawn out cackling of a deranged hyena hybrid

Splits the air and is heard over the thunder and screams

Resonating over and over again upon straining ears

As he sits and looks up at a blood red moon

The aroma of half eaten carcasses

Acrid and powerful causing eyes to tear

And nose to burn as if dipped in sulphuric acid

Creating the feel of skin peeling off flesh

As the cool wind causes irritation

To exposed flesh, you scratch and rub

Vigorously rubbing away your existence

Until you no longer think of staying on the path

Stumbling, agitated, confused and unwillingly

Into the fields, tripping over bony remains

Of explorers before you
