Tonight, I won’t write anything at all…
I’m throwing in my quill,—who am I fooling?—
I’m throwing in my keyboard, overruling
my instinct for seriousness,—o how small
and earnestly banal…/I mean!, the gall
of an Artiste not sat at home drooling
on their craft and crafting another grueling
chef-d’œuvre,—Bah!—leave that to the alcohol!—
—@-tack your ’s-periment__’n’|defend|
mine own: for the[object]of this{subject}
is Anihilating your nothingness.

I Don't Understand
I don't understand it
And I never understood it
How vehement disdain can beat in the chest
And how vitriol can dance in the mind with unrest
The cold, blank stares that quickly turn to a fake smile when I turn and our eyes meet
Too late, that crooked smile can't disguise the dark, desolate eyes that bitterly speak
Yes. They

Dear sweet Vitriol,
Dear sweet Vitriol,
I could never shut up about you,
Lifting you up when I slipped.
You saw me as naive and a fool,
While you silently took away my sleep.
I came up with so many excuses,
So I could touch you, call you, and see you.
You returned each with blatant refuses
Always knew how to make me feel

Vitriol
Vile, vehement contempt
Voiced through harsh language and
Verified with mean acts;
Venom spewed freely at
Victims disdainfully;
Virulent, vicious hate
Vileness—God can cure all!

Scruple's Flaws
using Tamerlane verse (Edgar Allen Poe)
As windows on this world get stuck;
disgust demands space on the lip.
Events I have not thought about
reveal hatred, make me upchuck
and fills untrusting minds with doubt.
Men’s base unkindness gets a grip
attacking vision with its whip.
When insult renders reason flat
without question, the end is that.
No hope - political affairs,
instead I

Vitriol
The chalice you drink from
is leaden with spite
and the poison is eating you up
Step down from your throne
where you languish alone
and sup from a healthier cup

Vitriol
Vendetta formed in words and a hot paste
Intends to subject a foe to a baste
Teeth-tearing, throwing the pieces to waste
Read for someone to have a broken waste
Incredible lynching on the banned caste
Or verbal attacks, flying without haste
Letter of hatred giving a sour taste

Vitriol
My blood boils in my vein
You fill me with distain
Such an arrogant bane
I see your hate campaign
What, do I entertain?
Do you own this domain?
I'll show you massive pain
Then flush you down the drain
You tossing back champagne?
How'd you get so inane?
My wrath you can't detain
Though you sure do complain
Welcome to my just reign
You pathetic grease stain
Bottom
