Digital Iceman

i don't have a friend in the world
by my own volition, of course
i socially emulsify... every, single, god damned thing
   i come accross. . . digitally
i suspect all of you
      and anyone capable of crossing me
i fix everyone - for reasons similar
but, mostly, it's just for fun
mostly, it's just my disposition

i am here to kill you

(and i always know better, yet my humor remains sick)
           my targets are random
                                    compulsively
i do this          (unrelenting)
                     like a serial killer. . .
it's what you'd call me
if all this f*****g social media
were truly alive, truly kicking
       i do not belong here

among you
                   i use you for sport
         without feeling
    this is my laboratory
and i'm a f*****g monster
         without license
though, not in real life
        luckily           i only kill digitally
still, i feel nothing  - and that is dangerous
   so please. . . someone stop me
i don't know how to end

Unless I kill you first. Your words engage the reader in a way that this must read to the end. You are inviting and terrifying in the same breath. The disciplined well written lines lure with each word so you maybe entertained by the thoughtless mind numbing dribble of the flock. Over all the charming exterior of this has me thinking I should have dressed better for the reading.
Classy piece, thank you for sharing.

You are dressed just fine. What you consider charming is a little bizarre. I bet you have a closet deviant in you somewhere.

[LKBillips]

Dang, this totally makes sense now. I like this one. Not full of convoluted mismosh. Clear and precise in its meaning. Trolly trollkins!

[Davidgeo]

Kinda clever. But too obvious and try hard. Better luck next time.

[LKBillips]

Rats! Let me know when I get closer kk?

[Davidgeo]

(you'd probably like this if you actually read it)

[LKBillips]

I did read it. I said I liked it.

[LKBillips]

Maybe I am reading it wrong, your stuff usually makes me have to read a couple times cause it has hidden meanings I don't get at first. Like layers of onion, lots of thinking to get to the core.

[Davidgeo]

I don't believe a word you say.

[LKBillips]

Ok I won’t comment anymore. I don’t like being called a liar

[Davidgeo]

Really? Don't be a p***y. Try harder.

[Hebe]

Eloquently written stirring truths that many people will relate to! Congrats with this amazing piece you captured the unspoken addiction of our digital era!

[Davidgeo]

Social media is full of sociopaths. Per capita more than real life, but only because it's more comfortable to hide there.

[Nipplegrinder]

Damn, this is f*****g great. I saw The Iceman on HBO right when it premiered.
This is probably as close to the real you, than you've shown here.
You have poeticidal tendencies.

Kuklinski was one brutal mama jamna. I studied him a little bit when I was in college without issue but that movie made me feel extremely uncomfortable. I really have been a troll for hire and in that context, their is very little difference between him and I. Sometimes you really should feel guilty over doing what you love for someone else. To be honest, I was probably just few childhood tragedies away from being just like that type of person in real life. Of course, not quite as meticulous and intelligent... I hate to say it but... most premeditated serial killers are almost always borderline geniuses. (and then there's guys like Richard Speck... f*****g morons... i never could understand them)

[Nipplegrinder]

Speck grew tits in prison. He was going to be famous, regardless

[Davidgeo]

He was already famous. He did that s**t for other reasons. His hedonism knew now bounds, he truly did not give a f**k about anything other than immediate gratification. A typical spree killer... the death penalty was made for people like him (and only people like him).

[Davidgeo]

"no" not "now"...
