    Short, brutal, and sharp! It hits like a scream in the dark. Perfect grindcore energy

    Short but gut-punch powerful.

    Movie gore, they never cease to find brutal and creative ways for horror. Nice on Paul

    Well, I learned a new word with this one (abattoir). After I looked that up, this proved to be a very thought-provoking, if gruesome, poem in just a few syllables. Nicely done.

    This is one to think about.

    Brutal - and profoundly thought-provoking in just a few lines!
