Apollyon, demon destined for obliteration
Prince and god of the metropolis of destruction
Order, sin and death: These are the chains of his dark hole
Looking, you see the hill of Chokmah above sheol
Livid, Apollyon wrapped his fish scales around your soul
Yaldabaoth trembled, as you lunged your sword up high
Opening his dragon wings, he fled to hell's ash sky
Now you continue, as the pilgrim just passing by
Poem inspired John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress, specifically Christian's battle with Apollyon in the Valley of Humiliation.

Vivid Orange
Sky black burnt like sack cloth by the fires
Endless fires vivid orange flames
Always orange as is the screams
Now invisible for they are dead
Bodies black ash blown about
Wind whipped up by the flames
Orange wind this way and that
Like the war win lose win lose
On and on till it simply ended
All dead nobody left to fight
Pull the trigger drop the bomb
Only orange remains so vivid
Like the old sports cars burnt orange
Part of the new world free of humans
Putin went mad NATO stopped him
The rest joined in so the world ceased
Just orange fires burning the skies
Little is now here from before

Man's stupidity*
Life's obliteration risks
God's condemnation!

Self-loathing and beating
A dark passage placed
Beneath the old ways
Where darkness dwells
Sadness runs rampant
And depression reigns
I visit this lonesome place
At times when I’m down
It pays to remember
This area of torment
When days I did bleed
And suffer profusely
I’m glad to be out of it
Living a better life
Bettering myself daily
Instead of destroying
Every piece of me
And tearing any ounce
Of joy that I might have
And tattering my mind
With a horrible disease
A deeper depression
That’s almost impossible
To regain hope from
But I got myself out
And I will never allow
Myself to get into this
Dying insane death
I will always be free
Of this annihilative obliteration
Of my terrible depression
Not allowing its power
To rule my life ever again

Obliteration de Russell...
women are part of the suffering,
the pain of separation,
ripping out the guttering,
department of sanitation?
not quite:)
a delight,
plum duff-ering... de Don

She came to me, hurt me, and destroyed me
Total obliteration
She trampled on my soul

Hacksaw…
Obliteration within;
Scream the shame---
Make it a nightmare:
Walking zombie,
Destroy imagination…
Annihilated.

In the rearview recesses
I spy crestfallen stresses
Binding might tugging my lift
When I grasp your tiny hand
I plunge into that quicksand
Until my breath begs to drift
Once the daylight fades away
I won't miss that solar play
Since we dance in lethal night
Lost in our covert nexus
Ghouls taunt my solar plexus
One spark shall flare to ignite
As we torch that powder keg
Shrapnel penetrates my leg
Just as I get ripped apart
You stay immune to the blast
While my head goes flying past
Sift carnage to find my heart
He still pulses in your palm
Singing his percussive psalm
Even after duty fails
Stuff that muscle in your bag
Time to call your friends to brag
Celebrate your love travails
Once your festive delight dies
Tell me all that you despise
Severed ears heed your harangue
I may be goo on the wall
Yet I'm not concerned at all
Since I went out with a bang
