Mental Massacre

My mind opened releasing the remnants of Pandora’s Box
Revealing the wraths of a complete paradox
Eradicating the thought process like a mental massacre
Destroying your clarity until your notions are obscure
Slaughtering your expressions, total annihilation
Bludgeoning your lines, poetic eradication 
Devouring your preconception, with utter devastation
Eliminating your disposition, enlightened extermination 
Butchering your reason with a brutal bloodbath
Lyrics linger in limbo lost in the aftermath
Slaying your insight with catastrophic rhymes
Conscious collapsin' corpses fallin' with the times
A war of words, our philosophies collide
Verses fall victim to a vicious verbal genocide

A massacre indeed. Great work Chiquita and very resourceful. What an exceptional imagination it must take to write such a poem filled with vivid imagery. Thank you kindly for your comment on my peom.

Holy Smokes...what emotion you have in these 14short lines....I think I could have screamed this in court about 8 years ago. Would have felt great! Best to this official poetry slam! Gwendolen

A veritable verbal war in literature, Chiqita! Excellent job of it. Very impressive. I enjoy the alliterations in this battle of the mind also

I love the opening line...it (you) blows my mind! The whole thing is so damn depressing but lifts me up and keeps me guessing. I really just hope you're ok Chiqita because this sounds like your dealing with some serious pain issues. For what's it worth - another great poem and I'm still on your side. Peace, Luv, Smiles, Terry
