Protected cruelty knows no limits so let’s make it learn.
No mercy for those who leave helpless bodies to burn.
The mission has failed us and a prayer or chant won’t do –
For every stab you encounter, I will gladly take two.
No space for safety in this place with no sacred codes.
I don’t understand, it must be an upside down Morse.
The message is unforgivably brutal to those who hear –
Out of all the weapons you’ve got, I wouldn’t use fear.

I saw curious things happening over and over:
Panicky disco stars bursting open the backdoor,
Laying under the covers, miserably needing a shower.
I was tongue tied but Jay kicked them on the floor.
Three women waltzed in, severed head in each hand.
Our sheets soaked in tears of virgins awaiting suicides.
Is this a movie scene? Can I at least pretend?
Suddenly, I was sinking like USS Silversides.
You don’t have to believe me when I tell you this last part
But I swam through the trench for hours, encrypting signs.
Corrupted brain exponentially filling with rage, growing smart…
I vomited numbers yet no one tried to read between the lines.
Then someone opened the blinds.
