Familiar
Out in the streets.
Running wild.
Running free.
Devil's child.
Out of the shadows.
In for the kill.
Angel of death.
Run for the hills.
Cartoon colors and choppy angles.
Warped space appears before your eyes.
Execution, your body's strangled.
Another lonesome fucker dies.
Does this scene look.
Does this scream sound.
Does this seem to be.
Familiar.
Familiar.
We are nocturnal.
In daylight we stalk.
Playing with your mind.
We babble and talk.
Never surrender.
Serving our queen.
Eating whoever.
Our horrible means.
Toy propellers and paper crowns.
Destination eternal hell.
Casting misery and frowns.
For the Witch, cast our spells.
Does this scene look.
Does this scream sound.
Does this seem to be.
Familiar.
Familiar.
Tiny terrors victimize.
This is fantasy of hate.
Ripping apart empty lives.
No remains of who we ate.

Hey Madcinder, good to see you post. I really liked the rhyming scheme, clever word play. I know this may sound a bit odd however when I finished reading it occurred to me I felt as though I'd read a dark lulilby in an off kilter children's book, I really enjoyed your poem immensely. Excellent work Cinder. Respectfully,

Thank you!
That is an interesting angle, and you comparing it to a lullaby kind of makes it more creepy to me, though it does fit quite well. I'm glad you found something like that in it. It means my aim was not so far off.
