The Cannibal

The Cannibal

A Poem by Deron Alexis

 

 The Cannibal

Only by fangs can we resolve

Only by claws we see the answer

The fleeting thirst and passive aggression

quelled and extinguished

doused in blood

No more hunger!

Finished with pain !

No…? More…? Fear…?

 

Am I really crazy

If I laugh in a bloodbath?

Did I finally lose my mind?

 

I fight everyday inside

With an enemy that hides his face

My sanity is a casualty

But not the only one

I fear for those that love me

Hunger for those that hate

If once I taste fresh blood

I fear it may be too late

For then in fire and water

The world I’ll over turn

Or maybe the world should be saved

Maybe I alone should burn
