Of Throes and Blight

Oh sweet adorable worm Begotten in mud, born in mud Barking at the void, slithering in circles, awry, so awry Warding off bad luck Always bouncing back bravely Never stop looking at the unreachable Envying the unattainable, the pure, the true, Oh thou the corrupted Wriggle with all your strength Stubborn and acrimonious, Wriggle to no avail for you're going nowhere Digging in the mud ferociously looking for ways to escape In vain of course in vain Conjure up bad luck Get a hold of yourself Never stop staring at the unreachable Beholding the unattainable, the pure, the true Oh thou the limbless wretched The mighty ones are so above, In olden times, they moulded a world without entry They feast there on the corpses of you and your siblings While building houses of cards with your own destinies But rest assured: They see you not Utterly oblivious of your feeble existence, Oh so feeble, perfectly unaware of your sufferings, Your throes, your woes Your ceaseless struggles Until your demise For nothing but half rotten crumbs Incommensurable amounts of petty griefs Minuscule tragedies, cute little agonies, yet unnoticed You screech You slay your fellow worms pitilessly for their crumbs and truth be told, Sometimes they watch, they watch and then they giggle: Your strifes for crumbs, jaws ajar, nails sharpened, Cruel and lethal bitings,ceaselessly For nothing but crumbs, so deliciously hilarious harken! You may hear their disdainful giggles Crawl, crawl further, beyond the feasible Lower yourself furthermore for more unfulfilling scraps Slither in bile for just a few miserable ones And preserve the precious fruits of your labor Struggle with all your strength Mulish and bitter but spiteful, You wallow in your sludge without going anywhere Oh thou the worthless Scream your lungs out to no avail as you’re fading away Your sharpest, most piercing yells are unheard For they join the cacophony of the worms which cannot be distinguished The abhorred din of vacuity Keep the pot boiling, get angered, there’s no way to be resigned before your last breath Embrace your fate You’re doomed to perish with dry, half rotten crumbs in your dismal mouth As your remains will be served inside a shabby coffin painfully purchased with your very last saving Your siblings will all celebrate your demise by devouring your meagre body and feasting on your leftovers

A little phlegm goes a long way says the worm to his putrid self Shriveled, limp and limbless On and on he drones , so runs the phlegm, slowly and it never dries up, mephitic Nauseating, sickening, you strike from a distance Filthy coward, gutless, stuck to the ground, Skyless realm of mediocrity Flat world of utter morass, laughably trapped A little frustration goes a long way says the beetle to his blackened self, glutton for excrements Fiend for filth and tar, nourished by the waste of others gutter-licker, sour and acrid Nauseating, sickening, you strike from a distance Filthy coward, gutless, stuck to the ground, Skyless realm of mediocrity Flat world of utter morass, laughably trapped And yet you dare blabber, spit at my face Relentlessly, always hiding behind my back Out of reach, down below so below I feel a sting but I can’t see you, vermin Such a ridiculous sting, strengthless, alone it bothers me not, I hardly notice it but the accumulation triggers the pain Enough is enough, I shan’t tolerate this anymore I’ve been through too much, endured for too long the countless army of vermin, anonymous and secure One minuscule spurt after the other, forming an ocean of unbearable foulness A microb's bite, impossible to feel on its own Repeated a million times, turning into an atrocious Leviathan of spite and envy A megalopolis of cowardice, towering high in the crimson sky of my harassed soul Now rise, on your feet, face me, brace yourself The time has come, your day of Reckoning Review your choices, smell your own trail of filth I am the Judge, the Jury and the Executioner And I’m so eager to pronounce and enforce the sentence I hereby declare thee guilty of gutlessness Exposed, revealed, naked and frail I am seizing you, garroting your throat, mouth agape, your eyes staring in terror Wet, crimson and bulging, veins-riddled The time has come and you know it Yeah your time has come and you know it! Lo and behold, it is swelling: your tongue! It is mine, oh yes, it is thoroughly mine I plunge my claw in your gaping mouth and I pluck your tongue out, your blood gushing forth transparent, lukewarm and fluid Then I vomit back your bile in your mouth Finally I clamp it shut for good

Waves of Plague upon waves of plague The filth is here, almost overwhelming Everything's crumbling, everything's fading Washed away by the tides of vermin The Horror has a face it's almost too real Like crawling, slithering along the edge Of a straight razor and surviving Unbearable shock, exquisite pain of Mass hysteria Torture and alienated By a pack of Vermin Don't get fooled, we're all in it Whatever the place I am Vermin, your are Vermin Yes we are all Vermin We consume this world until it's last drop And soon I'll be eating your heart out For the sole joy of my own survival Don't get fooled, we're all in it Whatever the place I am Vermin, you are Vermin Yes we are all Vermin There is no purpose to all this Prowling in the darkness Away from prying eyes I'm still Vermin, and I spread Tide after tide Vermin Until there's no one left but me

I exist and I matter, I'm not a nobody So rings your motto, repeated again and again Chin high, a boundless pride "The sky is the limit" so you claim And you see yourself as a divine thing Ascent without renouncing Embrace scratches, ignore all principles No way back, only aim for the top Just to be not forgotten "The end justifies the means", so you claim And no means is too low, nothing degrading You recover from everything, every single stain You clean the altar of your achievments all the time Savor the bitterness, spawn of your swindling existence Embrace all scorn, legitimate answer to your coward behavior Accept your loneliness, don't expect any form of empathy If you betray your neighbors, it will be fair to inflict you misery Head towards the bright lights Tread upon others, rush towards glory Spread the filth but conceal your own stretch Just to be remembered Bury the shame and the shameful deeds Deep inside, away from the judging eyes of your peers God forbid they see who you truly are A clean legacy, honorable Admire me and respect me Label me a good man, a great man A memorable man, an achiever But an overreacher is what you truly are Mediocre Prometheus Your fall from grace will be minute For you have never reached any true grace Mediocre even in your fall Nothing noteworthy, nothing memorable Methinks you are a nobody Methinks failure is your daily bread Head towards the fame Eliminate others, push towards glory Corrupt all but conceal your own stench Just to be remembered Never brave enough to remove the mask Never brave enough to behold thy true self Never brave enough to put an end to the masquerade Savor the bitterness, spawn of your swindling existence Embrace all scorn, legitimate answer to your coward behavior Accept your loneliness, don't expect any form of empathy If you betray your neighbors, it will be fair to inflict you misery Don't be afraid to let go, just let it all go, you are nothing just like the rest of us Do not chase vainglory, do not waste your time achieving anything Just rot away quietly, it's so peaceful, no more strife, no more useless struggle Lie down, embrace the nothingness that swallows all Lie down, embrace the nothingness that swallows all Slip into oblivion, become moss, become dust It's so soothing to fade away, it's so soothing to fade away Vanishing once and for all Become moss, become dust, become void Vanishing once and for all Become death, become death, become void Vanishing once and for all Become moss, become dust, become void Vanishing once and for all Become death... Become death... Become death
