Gratuitous Violence.A Poem by Ben Lingemann
And with hot branding, I name the end, it is unknown Obadiah, it is uncompromising Demosthenes, it is ambuscaded Agamemnon,
it
is crafty Cain, it is able to pull lightning down from clouds to
electrify a world beset upon by forces of great magnitude, vibrations
ricochet off of each other, quaking knee's knock as earthquakes rock
tectonic plates.
In this final hour what was once to edify is now to petrify and once let free the fire is an esurient monster after being kept so long locked behind the now yawning earthen gates, witness even the most pluvial flourishing plain blister and boil, witness unyieldingly the flesh bubbling in flux as if from extreme cell proliferation, another soul abdicates its husk. Mayhap this life will lead to another, as If there will be a choice project an air-less voice on the matter, will this If, insist on this If, hold your breath in front of polyonymous Death, let without a moan a trembling icy finger trace lips of now great pallor and make the word-less decision known, no more cyclical reaping of our worn souls says humanity and beg on the now naked ruth for our sanity. © 2011 Ben LingemannAuthor's Note
