Power

You are so powerful 
So brave my darling

Would you like a memento 
Or a ceremony commemorating the number of animals you have killed? 

Would you like a tattoo on your head 
Or a television ad disclaiming your body count?

Would you like to maim a puppy 
Maybe check how many blades you can fit inside it until it dies bleeding?
Still hanging from its mark
A knife inside it's little heart 

Still beating.

Would you like a hyperlapse of them howling to death while you enjoy your bravery? 
Putting on a show for everyone? 

Would you like to see how long it takes to strangle a cat to death?
Perhaps you would enjoy killing kittens more. 

Would you want a human baby instead?
We can offer it to you in black because it's not really acceptable as of now.
