Wacko mind born confused
With grotesque ugly face 
Web of deceit her game

Slave creatures imprisoned, 
Forced to do tricks,
Tightrope lions, clapping seals.
Elixir of grotesque clown disguises  
Drab animal lives....

Looking grotesque being a big griper;
When near,
Pain in rear;
Wherever he has been is always hyper.

Grotesque
tall
neurons
sprout into the sky
screaming anarchic omniscience

Brushing off the grotesque gloom
Inspiration, I oft zoom....

What's something 
really gross 
you've seen lately? 

For me,

I pray for you;
for I am nasty.
I pray for you;
for I am mean.
I pray for you;
for i am grotesque.
I pray for you; 
for I am demented.

for I am horrific.
I pray for you; 
in hopes that you pray for me....

And its eyes pale to the shadow of the moon.
While the still nights air reeks of its stench,
Lust, love and all emotions, are but strings,
Weaving, it out of my bosom and into seclusion....
