I am murdering thoughts
wasting them like war criminals
fighting my own conflicts
in the land of the skull

the ifs and buts
the whys and hows
the whens and whats
of the globally perceived disease
of essential romance
of companionship
of love after friendship
and life after love
and life after loss
and life after death
and ...

they are all warriors
mean, scrawny,
with sharpened spears
poison-tipped
by jealousy and malice
by frustration and anger
by ...

and they just don’t go away
they are here to haunt
me till the end
of me
or them
of ...

then I read the sign-board-man
"The End Is Near!"
and I murder another thought
‘WHOSE END?’

You sound as if you need some time on the beach away from everything my friend. LOL
Seriously, your words always bring the balance of art and real life to us in a most amazing way and that is why I always try to seek you out when I am in here. Your flow and your style are favorites of mine, but hey, you have known that for some time. I very much enjoyed this one and I hope you never stop slaying them thoughts.

This is an apt description of the mental battle with emotional pain and negative, destructive thoughts. Well-written!
