Dark Verse

I lie still in a dark nook

Bound in mucous belly of nausea

Among dregs of what is human

In shackled mentality and ambiance.

I peeped out the crannies of life

On my bunk in my kraal waiting

For new heaven and new earth

Only an endless vacuum of oblivion.

How could I sleep while I live

And hope to wake when I die?

Or labour till my sinews collapse

To receive my wage in death?

Time’s a chlorohydric test of values

Which result in cadaver and worms.

Charred remains of beauty;

Rotten bloated torso of hope.

Hate like worms eat my liver

My mouth spit a raging storm

My eyes smolder with sulphur

And the devil fears my anger!

The world’s a shameless whore

She’s raped by an insane life

And both give me birth

With trait of bastard genetics.

I eat human grilled flesh as pork

Drink sweet juice of human blood

And brave the dark pit of the grave

With corrosive lines of a dark verse!
