Swift To Hell

I shall lay waste to cities
fell mountains to rubble
drain oceans azure green.

I will melt arctic ice
eviscerate whole planets
shoot the moon dead.

I will vaporize the stars
pull the sun from orbit
tilt earth on its axis.

Aye, these things I’d do
to find the vile demon
that has harmed my love.

And if he should be
cold dead in the ground
lying there falsely.

Then to his coffin I’d go
crush him bone to bone
and send him swift to hell.

too right...then blow the f'er completely out of the story with Napalm, just for good measure.

Was written for my wife when she vaguely hinted at some nasty deeds done to her.
