Civilized Stage
elected
by landslide
this surgery of mine
is not cosmetic
quite the contrary
its absolutely
de-constructive
compelled to quell
psychological pain
its not enough
dis-connecting brain
this precipitous
fall from Grace
takes up valuable space
my biological footprint
and consumption rate
require resources
better waged
on potential GREAT....
nourishment for youth
with better odds
achieving
an acceptable fate
this unique procedure
first of its kind
perhaps is the legacy
I'll leave behind
calculated sacrifice
from my beautiful mind
I intend to be conscious
at grand finale
a poor man's Martyr
I need anaesthetist's aide
a full epidural
while real-time
reduced
to biological stain
let me explain:
my scheme is implosion
similar to
great buildings
brought down
before they decay
to points of
threatening erosion
the Devil is in the details
this surgery entails
numerous incisions
in outlying skin
through hard bone drill
strategic points
in my limbs
M80s inserted
perfectly calibrated
to bring me down
with the least
real estate wasted
explosives in place
I stand and face
environmental activists
politiCons, scientists
voyeur audience
fully aware
far ranging
implications
result from
successful annihilation
detonator under finger
doc presses plunger
my first movement
slightly spastic
at initial micro-ignition
of explosives plastic
but soon
outward motion settles
as skeletal foundation
is shattered
in carefully measured levels
practioners delight
as every mini-stick
in kid dyn-o-mite
properly ignites
broken bone and molten flesh
begin controlled slide
body implodes
into slush puddle concise
not unlike
Wicked Witch demise
I'm wide awake
for each irreparable break
painlessly delight
spine detached
sternum cracks
skull over-packed
through shoulders crash
shattered rib-cage
total collapse
my soul floats above
this most civilized stage
last step
is to set
heap of remains
aflame
I'm honored
having played
on team humanity
in our futile game
