Malkavian 4

I present unto you 
Unsub one and unsub two
Each looks as I do 
They think like me too
Unsub one will have some fun
Killing everyone that survived
Unsub two will handle the cops and news
As soon as they arrive
A cover up is under way
Another tragic terrorist attack
On this terribly troubling day

One dead lost his head
Two followed his blood I swallowed
Three  found 
I came up from the ground
Four more
Their limbs I tore 
A bakers dozen 
Crammed them in an oven
A group of five in all
Splatter them against the wall
Look at that
Six with a single swing of a bat
A group of seven children
Eenie meenie minie moe
Grab the first by the toe
When she hollers  
Swingherathighvelocityintotheothers 
I threw a couple into the sky
Its not that fall that makes them die
It’s the sudden stop 
Plop plop
A man that was rather old
I thought how much 
Will his body fold
I stopped at ten
So much creaking and cracking
It was disgusting
It made me a little sic
I threw up a bit
But onward I marched on
Killing and killing 
Than more killing
There were more left then I thought
But I didn’t stop 
Until they all got got
Except they didn’t all get gotten
I heard the beating throng
Of a heart that was strong 
But faint as faint can be 
Without being not there 
So I marched on
Following that throng 
It lead to the hospital 
And deep down the elevator 
Which I had to hack
Beneath the basement
Into some sort of hidden room
There on a bed 
Full of tubes 
And other such doctoral things
Was a raven haired fair maiden
I went to her chart 
While I read I soaked in the sound 
Of her steady pumping heart
Lilith
What a weird name 
Medically induced coma
No trauma or reason given 
To subdue
This raven haired fair maiden
So I asked her
What am I to do with you 
Like I said she was in a coma 
Unresponsive 

The human mind is a funny thing
So many dillusions
Illusions
Misperceptions
It so easy to control their minds
Make all there senses
My loyal princes
Duty to the kingdom
Smell the fire see the signs
Of a chemical attack
No survivors
This fireman looks so strong
And I’m so hungry 
I’ll eat just one
We’ll say he died in a heroic way
And these fine policeman
So courageous and noble
I best they taste affable
We’ll say they died in a heroic way
This news woman 
Regal and refined
I bet she tastes divine 
We’ll say she just got in dangers way
And here a group of paramedics
So alert and vehement
They’ll make a condiment
For these delicious looking camera men
We’ll say they died in a heroic way
Just got in dangers way
Oh dear I seemed to have eaten them all
I’m such a glutton
You know you messed up when
Your cover up needs a cover up

Nathan, I think I understand this one. For all its grisly imagery, all about the cover ups. I am hearing so much from some of my friends about the fake news, etc. What a world we live in!!
