Negatives

By Ortolan

dominoes never should fall in reverse
walls of sound to block it out
ghost compulsions waste my words
need no meaning, cold I shout

so perverse self image learns
hates itself, execution time
more to rehearse, so bite the nerves
waiting for death I stand in line


not like you, I don't like you
reasons to be insane, in line
hateful news, then less to spew
rotten taste too overripe

clusterbomb chaotic life
kneel and awaken, off with your head
channel forsaken, liarful rife
make less sense, as I left you for dead
