The Truth of Death

Member since 2003 · Posted 5 Jun 2003 · 4 comments

The sound of burning flesh, the smell of rotted meat, A slow and painful death, but still the heart beats Blood mixed with bile, urine with tears, A twisted vile, uncontroled fear. Nails torn off, fingers shreded up, Hands turned soft, melting off like slop Arms sliced deeply, along the thin veins, Muscles sliced cleanly, inscribed in bones are names, Each rib is broken, in 10 distinct places, Kept one as a token, tied up in laces, Nipples sliced across, stomach sliced open, This is but a cost, this is but a notion, Ass ripped apart, covered in hungry wasps Do not depart, life is but a cost, Legs embeded, with ultra-sharp razors Life headed, for full danger Unknowingly psychotic in porcelain eyes, She lived slightly, before she finally dies.

Death metal lyrics only have a point when accompanied by actual death metal.

This is nothing NOTHING before the sheer blood-chilling TERROR of GHOST IN A JAR!

what is the point of this poem?? the truth of death is that she lived slightly before she dies?
i see no purpose in this....degradation of poetry.
also, "ultra-sharp" does not do it for me as an, ahem, adjective.
