The monkey sits
Lifeless upon the electric chair
Machinery hooked up to the brain
Transmitting images of the evil of mankind
This is man’s life
A brainwashing of transient beautiful colors
Fluent bright optimistic flowers
That so perfectly reflects the soul
Of the upper most delightfully damned

But the monkey sits
Unstill and timid
Breathing frigidly
Spouting fire from the nostrils and lips
Remembering the hatred and death
The evil of mankind
That sits under the skin
Of man’s hearts and minds

Waiting
Praying for the kiss
Longing for Death
Who continues beating down upon the Sirens
Who sing of abandonment and torment
Bleeding so constant
The leaking of refinement
The indulging in something tainted
The monkey’s contamination
Of the evil and normality that is the plague

So the monkey sits
And bleeds in tears
Holding the gun
Whispering human fears
Nagging the beast as it lies so formal
Illuminating suppressed couth so floral
Driving death so incessant and beating
As a putrefied and reprehensible moral

Love is only an excuse to hurt and to get hurt... Knowledge brings ye fear.
