Conversationalist



As you may know, I have no deed to ingress,
For I dispose the sublimity that reads a
Face that indulges in itself within
A basket of thorns that leaves you dead
To the market of industry.

Therefore, I do not need your autograph
Because it is a stupid little placebo
Waiting to
Rip my heart out with a fork.

I am a pig
Wanting to get ammo.

I whack your head with my staff
And leave you
With a concussion for the Doc
to look at with his stick.

Then I get arrested anyway
And I have no
Intention of pleading guilty for you
When you are at fault for
Your actions,
And something you will see
Your misery on the carousel
You had built yourself.

As a matter of fact, his style of poetry is supposed to be violent and full of language like a metal song's lyrics. But he does aim to write much happier poems once his more angry ones are out of his system. more…
