ANOTHER MURDER MORNING
Shake out the pills into my hand.
Silver bullet chambered for the animal.
Stimulation tracers,3 am.
Welcome with a smile,supernatural-
Genocide-
I decide-
Not one fucking ghost survives.
Since I'm alive-
My morning eyes-
Have seen what most the world denies.
Comfort in the chaos of the chase.
God's not said a word about stability.
Along my side the fire likes to wait.
Make the city pretty when its time to breath-
In the fumes-
chemical noose-
I wish I had something to lose-
What's strong in death-
Will be strong again-
Not unless you don't forget...
As the glutenous dawn devours.
Hiding ones who thirst for blood.
You're safe now for daylight hours.
Just until the darkness comes-
And the final pill falls into my hand.
Silver bullet chambered for the animal.
Stimulation tracers,3 am.
Welcome with a smile,supernatural-
Genocide-
I decide-
Not one fucking ghost survives.
Since I'm alive-
My morning eyes-
Have seen what most the world denies.
Comfort in the chaos of the chase.
God's not said a word about stability.
Along my side the fire likes to wait.
Make the city pretty when its time to breath-
In the fumes-
chemical noose-
I wish I had something to lose-
What's strong in death-
Will be strong again-
Not unless you don't forget...
As the glutenous dawn devours.
Hiding ones who thirst for blood.
You're safe now for daylight hours.
Just until the darkness comes-
And the final pill falls into my hand.

Jasper,
This particular poem is definitely one N O T to be read in deepest midnite...in the darkness...alone-- with only the shifting shadows for company!
I cannot help but recall the terrifying tale of Jeckyl and Hyde, but with a more modern twist! ("Shake out the pills into my hand/...Welcome with a smile,supernatural-/..."Comfort in the chaos of the chase./"God's not said a word about stability.") These lines are chilling and un-nerving! I found myself looking over my shoulder, actually, though I am reading your poem in the bright light of early afternoon!
You have a true talent, my friend,for capturing the tone of terror in your writing...reminiscent of the masters of horror and the macabre, Poe and Lovecraft!
After reading this,I, undoubtedly,will be sleeping with ALL the lights on this night! I have added this to my reading list, however.
( "...You're safe now for daylight hours./Just until the darkness comes-/And the final pill falls into my hand") These lines are so powerful...my favorites! A rather unexpected, but a perfect, and delightfully dark ending!
Thanks for sharing!!
Dangerous are the disturbed--most assuredly--for they know that they will survive!

You are more than welcome! Though you are much too kind with your words of praise for me--appreciated so much, none the less!
UMMMM....perhaps, deep inside, we all take pleasure in our 'darker' aspects...I know I do!! (Cue the sinister laugh here, and evil music!) LOL! LOL!
