Mascara

As sex and scars, mascara covers The blood n liquor mingles on the bar Draining to the vast caverns of my horrors While dark dreams coalesce in all my corners I sit here wondering: What went wrong Why did my rage drive me to the edge As the screws turn deeper into my head I hear the whispers of Vile things best left unsaid Like sharp shards of bright days Left a lifetime ago, and far far away Forgotten, unforgiving, and unfortunate musings of murder mastication re-fed to the Masses. Of bloody books, black-eyed rooks… Mass hallucination and mass migration Mass annihilation… Of words that conspire mass conflagration in my Mad American empire of nightmares, blood, sex, scars, n mascara smeared across the face of innocence… Lock-step in time to the metronome as footfalls The hideous master race of murders and misinformation …echoes down history!
