Sterilize



Dearest, Dearest, Father of Mine.
Evil sins bought you into this life.
Dark matter, thick in sin
with immoral pleasures deep within.
Empowered you, to taste and take me in.

A pledge, a hostage for your sake,
I was made into already by eight.
You broke me, raped me, beat me down
With no regard, for my eyes,
my cries, my screams, my pleas,
To STOP! And so, my young soul died.

How could you have given me humanity?
You left me, wet with decay
a dirty rag, soaked in filthy shame.
You held me hostage, clipped my wings
Like a caged bird, I dared not sing.

It’s just a name you gave to me,
my body died a long time you see.
I am a ghost to you, for now
Until you die, my old soul waits.
Dormant, patient, hauntingly delayed
in this body, that no longer is caged.

The day you die, in your grave you will lie
I will visit you for a last time.
Aided by my new found light, I
will squat down above you,
and release upon you my dark young life,
That is hauntingly filled
with old memories, and pleas for a life.

May these old memories and pleas
shriek within your cold dead soul.
Forcing you to live your evil
that once housed my soul.
May my piss seep
into your soul,
soaking you with civility,
Sterilizing you for your next life.
May you then grow in
humanities good light.
I then, dearest father will say good-by
