Bastards

I'm a walking holocaust

Hiroshima in my head

How can a small piece of flesh accomadate so much affliction?

Virulent predecessors ravage my veins

No matter how much blood trickles from these wounds

you won't go away,

Black box for a brain

If i crash, will it go away?

These penetrating negative thoughts..

Serrated claws on a blackboard

the images in my mind,

Grinding against the productive thoughts of my brain,

Smashing my skull with your antagonistic vibes,

Cultivating me with your screams..

Are you both satisfied?

The lives you have raped,

Can you sleep conscientiously?

Knowing what you have accomplished,

A saddlebag of expunged souls to concede to..

BASTARDS!

Previous: I Want to be you

"Black box for a brain"

Love it! There was a time in my life I would have given anything to have someone else's memories!

brill Melanie! one suggested line in keeping with the theme of this poem-following on from-

"cultivating me with your screams"
(stealing the air)
(I want to breathe)?
best regards.x
