Too Young To Live Forever

By Sean Mc Shane

A blackened sky shows me it's sparkling arc
with that chaotic spiral off to the underside
when the thought signals me to chase it thru the dark
Fate will bleed the last of my sick pride

I look into my heart thru the jagged incision
remembering how words falter with no action
still tormented by the idea of a vaginal prison
I turn to an 8th death for blind satisfaction

to be reborn in my own bloodbath is understood
though I realized ages ago I'm too young to live forever
so in haste I straightened out the new gods real good
I let Them know they were not that clever

now cursed as the inner abominations once were
I sleep in the depths of the void for a darker silence
then thru the Netherworlds I stalk and stir
then violate that radiant soul with extreme violence

while I smoke like a pathetic world on fire
I set my sights on something even less
whatelse is lurking here to so boldly inspire ?
now put forth your best uneducated guess

And I'll see you under that glorified spectrum
where everything and everyone hurts the most
there I'll carve my name in your pitiful connundrum
then rip thru your spirit like a raging (g)host
