Horrify me

humming a song, a low dirge
a smiling face, a cheerfulness
even as his talons dug firm
in dying hearts
his eyes twinkling merrily
as his guests' souls left

the black clad persona
his back against the mourning
crowd, disdain in his demeanour
even as he fed on their sorrow
another lifeless to be buried
planted beneath the sod

the mewling living breathing man
the crowd that populate the earth
they eat kill maim anything weaker
than them, they crown themselves King
each one above the other
until they play and kill one another

he, the entity, walked among man
smiling as his boots ignited forests
on hills, mountains and islands
all over the land the fire burn
nothing stood on their way
and he laughed long and hard

men lighted their playthings, exploding
them among the crowds, scattered
disemboweled women, decapitated children
strewing them all over the buildings
and thoroughfares
they shot down flying objects from the sky

oh We meant to do that...such fun
he walked on, the man behind the rows
blood to blood, the sacrifice
for without the Earth would starve

His laughter always reverberated
better in time of bloodshed.  

Journalist: "Freddy Krueger  firstly I wish to thank you for agreeing to participate in this interview."
Freddy:"You are not welcome, Fuck you"

Journalist: "Would you like me to tell you about my website?"
Freddy: "Not unless you are willing to die"

Journalist: " Honestly I am a huge fan, can I have an autograph? "
Freddy: "I  will carve my name on your arse and you can treasure the scar"

Journalist: " No thank you, lets move on to a proper question, can you explain to the younger generation who you exactly are and what you did?"
Freddy: " What do you mean did? better change that to the present tense, I am a legend, I invade dreams. I murdered children and vigilantes murdered me. They couldn't stop me, death couldn't stop me and nothing ever will"

Journalist:  " It's been a while since you were last seen. Where have you been?"
Freddy : "I have been living the American dream, I am an A-list celebrity. They sing songs about me, I starred in the nightmares on Elm street movies as well as TV screens. I did enough work and sold enough merchandise so I needed some me time"

Journalist: "You are a brand you have an enduring image, why is this?
Freddy: " Open your eyes you fool. My  burned face is handsome, I am a fashion icon, I wear my battered hat,  red and black striped shirt, not forgetting my razor sharp claws. I give the people the blood, horror and gore they adore"

Journalist: "What's the future for you?"
Freddie: " Firstly killing you - you need to realise  this is not a real interview
You are asleep and  this is a dream. It is never a good dream when you see me.
I am a hunter
I am a predator
I tracked you, tricked and trapped you
I will always catch you
I will  make blood drip
I will make tears drop
I will rip skin
I will break bones "
The journalist throws down their microphone, begins to flee and scream.

 Freddy : "Wait it was just a joke,I still want my fee, if not I really will  visit  when you dream ."
