At The Sadist's Need To Shatter And Smash You
Since my youth I have loved inflicting pain;
to force my victim through fierce agony.
The presences of bruise, welt, or bloodstain
only incite me to more cruelty;
the practiced application of the scourge
heightens and sharpens this ravenous urge.
In these ways, I achieve satiety,
and feel the exaltation of my soul
in ways most cowards think impossible.
Therefore, to reach such climactic conclusion,
I often volunteer for execution
parties---frequent, as each soldier for Rome
becomes accustomed to and understands
(especially stationed in foreign lands
assisting Rome's commerce and keeping peace).
Today my satisfactions will increase---
the morning's order: crucifixions, three,
and one is that preacher from Galilee.

"and keeping peace"
Love excellent irony. Crusifix deaths were common as hangings later, tge guiitine, drawing and quartering - all that torture over history, burning heritics and witches and warlocks - the ending owned me - reading today's agenda - priceless! Note: I read u a lot, should comment but would rather read u. ~s~
Thank you for saying that. I
Thank you for saying that. I am very glad and grateful for your readership, and your comments, which are always welcome, are always quite inciteful. Yes, human beings have quite a history of torturing each other for private beliefs. My mother's ancestors in Ireland lynched each other over whether to be Catholic or Prebyterian, an idea I cannot get my mind around no matter how much people try to explain it.
