Through ocular aperture

Elucidate the once obscured

Words stabbing like daggers

The first blood was drawn

Decapitated doves drown in muddy water

The decomposing sludge reeks

Coward’s act of homicide, mundane humanity

Reduced to waste, putrid meat

The flow of water has been stopped

Frozen into a future bleak.

Raw flesh avulsed and macerated

By our own expunged vitriol

Look in the mirror and behold thy bestial self

Cannibalistic Canis lupus

We’d rather destroy ourselves

In the fruitless pursuit of ephemeral wealth

Raw flesh avulsed and macerated

By our own expunged vitriol

Look in the mirror and behold thy bestial self

Cannibalistic Canis lupus

Humanity bequeathed

—Humankind’s suicide.

Raw flesh avulsed and macerated

By our own expunged vitriol

Look in the mirror and behold thy bestial self

Cannibalistic Canis lupus.
