Acquiesce
In a cold, relentless region<br/> A beast of disorder slumbers in solitude.<br/> Waiting to claim the Earth<br/> And blister the sky with fissures of fire.<br/> <br/> Circles of fire on the floor.<br/> Burn circles of fire in the sky.<br/> Corpse-fat candles flicker.<br/> The chaos of light and shadow.<br/> <br/> Embodied on a background of black.<br/> Ignored by the stain of apathy.<br/> On a beaconless planet, darkness reigns.<br/> Mysteries of the worm.<br/> <br/> Mysteries of the worm.<br/> Darkness, doubt, disorder.<br/> Humanity hunted as though it were prey<br/> But don't pray to a bitter God.

Sinking sun, wilted, weary.<br/> Pierced nightfall, pale, hollow.<br/> The rain across your face.<br/> <br/> A sombre stream pesters my cheek.<br/> Deprived of light, forgotten glee.<br/> <br/> Scalpels of light bring to light my hand, coated in dirt.<br/> Beneath this layer is written: "Don't forget the soap."<br/> <br/> Wading through the banality.<br/> Cast down my reason, forgotten glee.<br/> When the words that make promises<br/> Are made meaningless from overuse.<br/> <br/> Sitting alone, silent and still.<br/> Bereft of colour, dreary, frail.<br/> <br/> The nightingale's song has ceased.<br/> So flourish insincerity.<br/> Plunge us into ignorance.<br/> And this is humanity. How lucky!<br/> <br/> Scalpels of light bring to light my hand, coated in dirt.<br/> Beneath this layer is written: "Don't forget."<br/> Scalpels carve into my once wet skin.<br/> "The birds chirp. Not once, not twice...NEVER!"

Sedate me! Sleep well in a world of unrest.<br/> (So you can) continue your mindless routine, development suppressed.<br/> Sedate me! Unable to shit but I can sleep.<br/> Combat morning sickness, Thalidomide's cheap.<br/> <br/> Berate me! Mothers absolved of infanticide.<br/> A novel concept given that you made your choice.<br/> Berate me! Alleviation equals annihilation.<br/> Like a buzzing in your ear "It's my fault."<br/> <br/> Disability writhes within you.<br/> Ingrown genitals, broken hearts.<br/> Who cares? Ignorance is an excuse.<br/> In my world, it's your head in the noose.<br/> <br/> Negate me! Happily shove pills down your throat.<br/> Negate me! Yet companies should bear the blame.<br/> Negate me! Giddy with the thought of a quick pay-check.<br/> Consigned to oblivion, abdication of responsibility.<br/> <br/> Sedate me! Berate me! Negate me!

Unremembered, unlamented, you skulk and crave only pity.<br/> Why should we retch on empty words?<br/> And stomach your deluded home-grown monomania,<br/> When the trail of your failure wends its fetid stench back to you.<br/> <br/> The masses like locusts culled.<br/> This depression, your self-made, self-sent designer plague.<br/> <br/> Enact the pest ban, when fruitless life bloats unreplete.<br/> Enforce the pest ban, cleanse humankind's stables of pointless meat.<br/> <br/> Your witless self-indulgence will end as it began.<br/> With the realisation, that existence terminated is your only lot.<br/> <br/> Slave to one and all.<br/> A respiring machine.<br/> Expendable, used then left.<br/> A gangrenous will, starved of purpose.<br/> <br/> End a squandered life!<br/> Your birthright expired.<br/> Surrender your place up to higher worth.<br/> No last reprieve, be gone, be dead, be dirt.

Cast down through emptiness into the eternal pit of darkness.<br/> Drones of black death wisp past and deafen.<br/> Into the unknown eons, screaming!<br/> A faceless screech without a sound.<br/> <br/> As time folds back in around you<br/> Faces haunt the flowing mist.<br/> Cold, cold<br/> Black memories...<br/> <br/> Screaming into the void where planets fall and die.<br/> The endless walls don't echo.<br/> For in this darkness filled with vomit and hurt,<br/> Swirls a disease in spirals, surrounded by sickness.<br/> <br/> The blood drips from the tongue into everlasting time.<br/> As you wander eternal corridors.<br/> <br/> Decaying teeth chatter as this blackness dissolves your being<br/> And the mind of the damned is erased.<br/> Consumed by hate, in death, in fear.<br/> The torn flesh of despair.<br/> <br/> Life vanishes into a point of light where creation once began.<br/> The bleakness has consumed you...
