Welcome


Welcome to the dawning of the book of bitter aspects
Where melancholy notions will never breathe its last breath,
I’ve dwelled here for some time waiting for your karma to deplete
So you could not only witness my dissension but come and take my seat,
I lack the love required to have remorse for your new feeling
Now you will know the anguish that I had once been sealing,
Hundreds I have slain for my immortality to sustain
Deeds of which you cannot shame for your own will be the same,
Try to take it on the chin and see how long your morals last
One week or month you’ll soon digress and ethics will be your past,
Struggle not with the acts that god has deemed a sin
Let malice be your master and sink your teeth in human skin,
And when you dive into the world of killing to survive
You’ll understand why man is weak and why we all will thrive.

this is a little sad, and something I have thought about a lot.
