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.
Truth and Falsity
destiny’s twins
Living together
in virtue or sin
Credence once glorified
deceit left in flames
Redemption and virtue
the devil profanes
Verity trumps lies
by its very intent
Disclaiming its sibling
who still unrelents
Existence dependent
as prophecy deigns
In mutual exclusion
— like Abel to Cain
(Villanova University: November, 2025)
The bravery of wisdom
The supervisor of dignity
Disclaiming the indentity unknowingly
Perpetrating the life of the one.
The father of justice,
Came forth to intervene.
The dumpless of sorrow,
Carelessness,carefulness and cleanliness
Calamity sent for cheating
To bestowed the life of the livings.
It is the sorrow of life
Come forth distance.
Don’t be a victim?
My heart secures fright,
Forced into the light,
My soul so contrite,
My words become trite,
Hear my lonely plight.
I feel her cries,
Disclaiming sighs,
Without my lies,
Breaking all ties,
My love knew
Lies in view,
Breaking clue,
Shall she,
Blind me,
Mad
