Sterilized ecstasy begins
to seep
into
my consciousness
though
I
reject
and slash my wrist
injecting
eternal agony
scoff at Paradise
piss on delight
Accursed? C’est moi
Je n’au besoin pas
L’illumination
I exist
only in night
yet shed light
upon souls
of humankind
I pierce
the mind’s eye
with a splinter
of loathing
coat the imagination
with muriatic acid
that saturates
the flesh
and eternally
scars the tissues
of the flesh
I am mad, yes!
Non? Ja!
C’est vrai
Je suis un assassin
avec un
cour mal!
