Knife
In the talons of fear, all his life,
a hell, a schism into which he hid
his pride, an apostate in the rocky
face of normality he promised to
protect his body from darkness
his imagination always created
his psyche constantly on alert when
fearful of all others he raised
the knife to defend himself from
the innocence of his victim in
the body of who the knife dived
proving the short truth that only
evil can control a man, only the blood
of innocent can justify the unnatural
existence of the killer on earth
he too settled on what his foul mind
led him to spend his life
imagining that he was human.
