This nightmare called Life

By: Danny Dodger

He’s on his knees smiling like a maniac

Mesmerized by the dripping of blood from his finger tips

That homicidal smirk planted decisively on his lips

Murderous intentions in black and white

His head is throw back he’s laughing so hard

He’s swathed in coagulating blood

Bathing in the contaminated innocents

He’s replaced his sanity with lunacy

If he could just turn the lights on

Stop the insects from eating at his flesh

Stop his skin from pealing away

Maybe, just maybe

He could escape this nightmare

This nightmare he calls life
