The Surgeon
Slowly regaining consciousness
To the sight of something ominous
A table full of surgical tools
From my mouth blood drools
My eyes quickly scan the room
A musty dampness lingers
My body strapped down in this tomb
When I noticed missing fingers
A haunting drip of water
Echoes through the stagnant air
Fear of my impending slaughter
But all I can do is stare
In the room a surgeon appears
With latex gloves on his hands
A mask tied around his ears
He asks if I understand
Nodding my head sideways, confused
The anesthesia still in effect
He looks over unamused
I'm not sure what next to expect
Focused he approached the table
Looking for his weapon of choice
I tried screaming but was unable
My missing tongue removed my voice
He finally made his decision
A scapel firmly in his grip
He starts with a painful incision
Into my abdomen the scapel slips
Below my ribs a 12 inch cut
My kidneys painfully removed
Once again my body sewn shut
My operation table then moved
Pushed by his assistants
Down to the end of the hall
A room of nonexistance
Enclosed with blood stained walls
My body was lifted and placed
Into a cold dark locked cage
Odors of carcasses left to waste
Have been decomposing for days
In the corner I hear a sound
Tears filled with deafening screams
Many future victims still are bound
With lifeless eyes of haunted dreams
Some victims still barely alive
While others are quite dead
Holding on trying to survive
But hope now fading instead
The surgeon once again enters
Now he's requesting a heart
His assistants focus centers
My wife they placed on a cart
Her body still suffering
From her surgery earlier today
The black market discovering
Fresh organs iced on the way
Last night we were abducted
While enjoying our vacation
This dirty surgeon corrupted
A deadly nightmaric situation
To the sight of something ominous
A table full of surgical tools
From my mouth blood drools
My eyes quickly scan the room
A musty dampness lingers
My body strapped down in this tomb
When I noticed missing fingers
A haunting drip of water
Echoes through the stagnant air
Fear of my impending slaughter
But all I can do is stare
In the room a surgeon appears
With latex gloves on his hands
