Countdown
By Phalanx
Taste mutates with sunrise
Like a virus, even the microscope
Can't measure motive.
The fickle nature of choosing targets is a
delicate balance
But, words can only kill if you let them.
I knew the place of the popular species
Once upon a time.
Now
I chance immunity vector for given gouge.
The sweet pleasure of pain.
Threats are treated with extreme prejiduce
For sake of higherarchy.
Do you not realize you are so low.
Comfort is a zone far from
touch,
If you stay, you'll die there.
Find the way from
the well-up.

Honestly I wanted to point in this comment at the sentence that stroke me most but, well, there are a bunch, which is impressive in such a small number of sentences.
