Why no current pictures?

By Musik2MyEyes

What do you see?

Distortion
Mutilation
Not a creation
Of nature

Was I ever not
The magnet of stares
Wasn't I once
The gentle butterflies in the womb

My current temple
Man-made
Like a construction site
Pounding...ripping...tearing...crushing
Destruction

He was weilding
A long handled lighter like a saber
Melting the flesh
Watching hair melt and disappear
Or so I'm guessing
I wasn't concious then

Exposure
Like a car wreck
Slowing down to look
Curious
Quick calculations
On what may have happened
Human nature
How can I be offended

Self destruction
To complete the incomplete task
Epic failure
Made things worse

How can that possibly be so
