No guts, no glory (or Valor)

 

Off in a world of her own

 

Venus Man Trap

 

The Grime

Life as we know it has drastically changed.

How dare you oppose me when I'm righteously enraged.

We're all related by blood yet you've thrown us under the bus.

I never did anything wrong to any of you even when your only value to me were dust.

-

If I could legally dispose of you, I don’t mind doing it personally.

After all, it’s not like there’s any shortage in our family’s genealogy.

The very last trace of your life, I want to be the one to snuff them out.

You all lived too long enough with all your greed and debauchery that it made you stout.

-

I lost so much because of humans being typically vile, evil and all.

Like the kings in Chronicles, I want to plunder my enemies, make them suffer and fall.

Someone said I already have so much of what I want – wrong!

Some of what I want to do will end me in prison before long.

-

I’m expressing it all a tiny bit lest I end up insane.

Suppressing my violent and malevolent wrath has slightly numbed my pain.

If only I can act out my thoughts without any life-changing repercussions or a logical barrier.

I would be a criminal but ironically free from smothering my anger.

-

With my careful, organized and introspective nature, I’m unafraid of the crime.

I do fear getting caught and dragging my life further to the grime.

God, perhaps you should’ve returned earlier, is there still light in my eyes?

I don’t think I’ll ever be satisfied until every last one of them dies.

-

How long do I pay for the consequences of someone else’s foolish and evil actions.

When will you provide these people justified sanctions?

I am bound to think, think, think about this all until my mind is torn asunder.

I frankly think the charge to multiply the evil-prone humanity is a blunder.
