Plague Monster

By Ortolan

the hate of deity, worship of self
rejection of familiar world creating new realms
"the biggest sinner is the youngest saint"
you'll move mountains of lead when dead
but until that pitiful swamp stinking day
I bid you a fine New Jersey
I scatter my ashes in the meadowlands
I rid me of what is unworthy
so as I die, so does the planet
can you see armageddon
three days of hallucination
strangeness
alien invasion
fourteen days of full cataclysm
apocalypse
dissolution to chaos
the labels change
the styles get deranged
the colors re-arrange
and then the people go away
you start to meet the strange
and no one writes as much as me
I'll bury your head in the sand
cannibalism strong overtly
mouth has formed from appendage so evil 
yawning out locusts
aiming the arrow
covered  in eyes
relief, killing everything
