The Grim Reality

There is nothing but bleakness and devastation in the horrid world of ours
 
Humans are nothing but parasitic worms of destruction
Annihlating everything in our path through war and famine
 
We are earth’s method of committing suicide destroying the core of everything it stood for
 
We claim to bear kindness and grace, that our religions contribute to the fortunes of unshakable masses.  
 
We are shambling corpses consumed by hate and violence dreaming new methods of further sealing our demise
 
There is no god, there is no external almighty power, only the cries of infants and their mothers begging for coin suffering from the plagues of organisms recognizing our own futility
 
The darkness exists within us all, the capability to tap into our most primal instincts, to fuck, to kill, and to profit.  
 
We extend our own piles filth and decay into towers built on the mangled corpses of those who labored in its construction.  
 
There is no good in this world, nothing pure, nothing innocent.  
 
Society is a construct of human pretentiousness, an excuse to live as murderers and rapists
 
In the end we are nothing but senseless rodents in a grand universe conspiring against us.
Fame is nothing but the shallow workings of pathetic slobs who choose to believe humans could be greater than themselves
 
Some claiming themselves to be gods when born into conditions aiding in the accomplishment of their hollow status.  
 
Some are not famous for any discernible reason and simply leach off of public curiosity as the idle masses witnesses gawk at any mindless spectacle in their visage
 
The Lovecraftian laws of reality will devour the wicked, digesting their spirits within a sea of madness and hysteria. There is no room for thieves, devout in the heinous thoughts and ideologies, they shall dwell within the pits of Hades, slave laborers to their own righteous causes.  
 
History is an endless wave of horrid tragedies entangling themselves within the fallout of previous tragedies.  
 
A spider’s web of eternal pain and suffering, neatly recorded within tiny notebooks detailing the nature of the crime.  
 
The beasts of politics roar in their skyscraper sized pulpits declaring the inferiority of supposed lesser beings, those who with the audacity to experience humble lives never centered on crushing invisible enemies.  
 
Perhaps not all of humanity is evil, perhaps there are those who simply wish to live an ordinary existence.  
 
This writer is not one of those people, this writer chooses to write about the folly of the working man and woman and transgender, and the corruption to which befalls them
 
Documenting pain and suffering and horror within a rudimentary sketchbook and dismally ineffective computational device.  
 
It has been quite some time since I’ve discussed the horror of everyday society within the confines of a simplistic narrative written to entertain the violent minded individuals which comprise the majority of mainstream society.  
 
It gives me pleasure to indulge in the darkness humanity possesses.  I would never choose to carry out the actions dominating my interests.

Author's Note
I can't quite recall at what point in my life I wrote this, I think it was at a time when I found myself experimenting a great deal with really dark and morbid artwork.  It resulted in this extremely nihilistic poem and I think it represents my style quite well.
