Beauty of the World.

*Spoken Word. Find your own rhythm here.*
Beauty of the world,
Bleed me a river,
As a shivering rape victim sits uncovered,
Ravaged in unbridled hate like a blue wave crush
That can't stem
the tide of that childs mother.
Fostered in breeding grounds of deceit
and lies,
Flushed in anger and soaked in envy,
Incensed at
the sight of such fire burning away the fabric
Hand-woven of her
linen clothes, tattered and torn.
Beauty of the world, Bleed
me a river,
With fever in tow, with no sliver of hope
Remaining
in this decadence, decimating every
Last bit of moral fiber, ripping
to shreds the silver lining
Of what decency remains during this painstaking
reprisal,
Appraising her life now broken and worthless
The
face of it beaten, bloodied and sore.
Beauty of the world,
Bleed me a river
Of piss and sweat, as this shallow soul delivers
The very worst God has to offer.
Barely breathing,
Hacking,
spitting,
Choking beneath the crawlspace of life struggling to hold
on,
Tears unleashed through the cracked floors while
The
screams are muffled by the sounds of violent thrusting
And skin scraping
And hope failing
And all that is good lost, forevermore.
There is no one to save her
We are already dead
It's
a wonder we made it so far
On one winded breath.

The closing stanza brings this piece to a end like a door slamming. Good flow, hard to do with the subject matter--so often ends up sounding "ranty" and this is not, in any way that.

I try to stay away fromlines that afterwards incurages a catchy tune like cry me a river. cous it kinda breaks the concentration to the poem. but i re read it and had a serius talk with myself. and it ended up nicely

I edited it. I didn't even make the justin timberlake connection until you brought it up. I saw no choice in the matter.
