Wrath

The Second of the 7 Deadly Sins

By Joseph LenzPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Wrath slowly inhabited my mind

All the wrong that I have endured

Psychological torture I’ve been a witness to.

Acts of revenge seething the hatred inside

Warning… Stay away Mother Fuckers!

My Rational thinking has derailed

No possibility of turning back

Self destructive… Completely dead inside

Pushing me further into madness

Experience 30 years pain

Impossible to break these walls

You have all helped me build

Taking the time to show you around

Leading you on your death march

To help you better understand this nightmare.

Some sort of tribal initiation

Visions of barbaric torture

An unforgettable adolescence

Seamlessly replaying over & over & over

To hear you cry out for your life

Years of solitude piecing together

A sadistic symphony

coming to an end

of the forth and final movement

Filled with the words I will forever hear

Blood lust forces it’s will deeper into my mind

Limbic brain identifies

Past fears and threats transforming them into

Excitement and Pleasure

Altering your perceived world

My subconscience persistently

Smiling at your pain and suffering

Watching your slow decay

The effortless battle to escape

Your moral limitations
