Unleashed

Every face of horror I have witnessed
and turned in the blood pit of terror
and lay claim from some sanctimonious armchair
a cause
a reason
to despicable end
with such vile capacity
to bullets determined

And by foul and fire this vomit
spattered to the feet of men
incarcerated in trigger atomic
will spit defile
on humanities end

You gather not from graves
the flowers of stupidity
worshiped
and pitiful recompense demand
of blithering flags
the smoking embers of your cenotaphs
and all the belch and furor of your epitaphs

Every face of horror
so by paper and crosses
vote for the terror and relinquish
responsibility
AH ! Scathe and curse upon humanity
and rise to the whip
stand stalwart in the narrows of belief
determine all by weapon
and all by agony
this TV dinner of your conformity

So dine upon hell
drink deep of the acrid bile
and curse
yes curse yourselves for ruthlessness
in all for the the cost
your soulless comfort
and turn in the blood pits terror
the fear
you would reek on another 

Gather not from wreaths
tinsels decorated ended lives
stand amidst the monsters of sharpened knives 
and weep
yes weep
for the horrors never witnessed
