A Dung Lit World

I've stolen your fate as a trophy I own Its blood dripping another stain on my throne To me you are nothing but something to kill To beg for a reason my hate I fulfill The pain I'll inflict with cold vibrant glee Comes without cost to my conscience for me This dung lit world where rage finds its thirst A shadowy figure to every life I curse In hell I find comfort, its filth and stench I know To rip away each vein from your heart, before I go Your gurgling cauldron of breath I will steal To fill my chalice with pain, to you I'll reveal This need to release such a terrible scorn It flows so cold, my hatred for ever being born 1/7/17 contest You Say You want a Revolution

oh I love that very last line. I do believe some of them really hate themselves but then others are pure narcissists! Your word usage is so awesome in this poem. I am sure Debs will prefer it to mine! (I'll be lucky if I even make the list)

Very dramatic, Frederic. A little darker than your normal writes and I really like it:)
