This Pit
Oh shameful bottomless pit that is,
My life.
Take me to the ocean,
And drown me.
Eternal flame,
My sunrise and sunset,
Burning my flesh,
Burning.
The foul stench encases my nostrils,
As you and all your race of men,
Look upon me,
Laughing with disgusted upturned noses.
Not yet satisfied,
You impale me with a four foot spear.
