I kill flies

I make pesky flies explode.

If it bothers you it won’t no more.

Your anger you can unload.

Your aggression you can explore.

There is satisfaction,

in a pest violent death.

It is a gratification

to grant that request.

Is it a grievous sin,

to make a bug deceased.

Those thoughts begin,

to bring a twisted form of peace.

Within each of us,

a monster does reside.

It feeds on the dark lust

that you cannot hide

A funeral will you do,

to celebrate your act.

There’s a darkness in you,

you can’t deny the fact.
