Feral Beyond Comprehension
He was untamed by human nature,
wild as a lion and fierce as a wolf.
Not carrying any instinct other than
intense cruelty,
he kept his brutality for safekeeping.
Like an undomesticated cat he roamed
the streets at night searching for what
seemed to be his prey.
Like a chameleon during the day he
seemed like a soul searching for
redemption,
but that was always his weak style.
He thought strength was found in
words spoken out of disrespect.
Antagonized women for pleasure
hoping he would find one to take
home without mercy.
Seeking something out of life
other than affection he made
connections with the only ones
in mankind that were savage and
fearless.
Violence was the only way he
knew how to interact with others
and the rage in his essence seemed
so sadistic he didn’t love even
if he could.
His youth was a sad one to say
the least.
Never was taught the difference
between righteousness and
wrong transgressions.
So he grew to be a man filled
with a temperament of disregard
for the safety of those around him.
One night feeling invincible he
strolled once again with too much
pride.
Encountered a woman from his past
that he treated with misconduct.
He was never found again.
