The fire, the flame, the mire, the pain
Wire and chain to pyre my brain
I wax and wane, I struggle and strain
Heartless darkness, dryness parches
kamikaze marches thru Boggy marshes,
The Harness markets’ harshest harvest
Of a living karkass
Sailing Tarsus….
Flailing limbs torn, flesh punctured
Aborted newborn fresh ruptured
Constant burning, flames ascent
Heavently yearning, GOD ab-sent
The tear hits my cheek and turns to vapor instantly
*
I never gave a crap, bet that I thought the afterlife was inconsequential
No Novocain for the pain as a demon drills microscopic holes in my dental
Doomed to descend downward for the devil’s dastardly dance
In life I was a coward, now eaten alive by a horde of fire ants
Getting sodomized by cruel machinations
Payment for my twisted pornographic inclinations
Try to scream out but my voice is just a whisper in the wind
If only I would have known, I wouldn’t have loved the sin ….
*
Year number 73,000…still here, the pain remains constant, horrible, and severe
Every moment is now filled with the pain, coupled with a never ending fear
The devils all laugh at me as they fill my body with flesh eating worms
I still try to fight it, but the only riot is my loss of dignity as it squirms
I finally cry out..”Jesus! I am sorry I believe!!! I am sorry I forsook you!!!”
Silence……no answer….and then the real pain began as the truth shook thru
*
I awoke…sweat drenched, afraid….my life suddenly much clearer
I stumbled to the bathroom, wiped the tears, and looked in the mirror.
