Stability of Humanity
The clouds
are tinted red
as the sun sets,
I watch from
the shade
of an old oak tree.
The sky
looks like after
a nice savage attack,
stuffing from furniture,
scattered,
covered in blood.
My mind
has slowed to a crawl,
barely screaming
in its cell,
leaving me temporary peace,
hardly being pressured
by the thirst
for what
I do so well.
Its hard to believe
that I enjoy
anything
where the crimson fluid of life
isn't matting down my hair
and chunks of flesh
aren't flying about me,
but it doesn't last long
and as the sun
dies on the horizon
I feel the pull
of your unworthy souls
calling me
to separate them
from your bodies,
well I mustn't
keep them waiting.
I let the shadow swallow me,
traversing the darkness
like a footpad
on the rooftops
in a medieval city,
and as Slayer said
I quote
"In an unforeseen future
nestled somewhere in time,
unsuspecting victims,
no warnings,
no signs,........
before you see the light
you must die."
And so that
is the purpose
for me here,
without dark,
there can be no light.
So between
showing evil
to society
and doing my part
in population control
I'm quite a busy fellow,
doing my best
to make humans
grow as a whole,
if I get
to release
the vileness
that builds up
within me
like a volcano
spewing
blood
and chunks of flesh
into the air,
staining the sky
a dark brick color
so be it,
it doesn't
hurt everybody
and wasn't it said
"The sacrifice of a few
benefits the masses."
