*a book of small prayers in poetic format dedicated to the one true god, Bane*

I AM BANE

I'm the sum of all your cries
I'm the one who tortures those who die
I'm the creature that brings demise
I'm the symbol you despise
I'm the entity of the your deepest darkest fears inside
I'm the tyranny that controls your mind
I'm the ever shifting bloody tide
I'm the hunter from which you cannot hide
I'm the killer with time to bide
I'm the stalker with the guide
I'm the brains of the masterminds
I'm the snake that chokes and binds
I'm the priest with no respect for life
I'm the murderer with the knife
I'm the player who holds the dice
I'm the clever cat among the mice
I'm the heart piercer who’s too precise
I'm the chains of malice and might
I'm the reaper with the scythe
I'm the corruptive hate that still resides
I'm the conflict where lies collide
I'm the monster straight from hell
I'm the darkness at the bottom of the well
there is no salvation nor heaven
there is no wall nor hell
there is only Bane
and that is where your souls shall dwell

HIS BLACK HAND THAT COVERED THEIR BLACK SUN

today he will
with his will
bend the wills of gods
shooting forth
a terrible curse
for all in which to lurk
he will rise
he will bind
all their hopes and dreams into one
he will collect all their sins
and burn them in their black sun
it will burn
burn with a fury
that will cross without expulsion
and eliminate and extirpate
everything out of motion
this inevitable end he has begun
will end with an implosion of their big black sun

POSITION AND POWER

a mirror image of perfection
a being of higher ascension
an apotheosis of flawless creation
a mind that can lead you to heaven like elation
he is beyond a mortal’s mind and soul
Bane is inevitable
take for him kingdoms
take for him land
follow his goals and decisions
be guided by his hand
listen and draw near
hearken to every word you hear
march in the stains he stomps in the ground
down on your knees
learn to bow
his indescribable horrors
his infinite hoards
join his clergy
or later be forced
now you see
serve his perfect being
grant him your soul
give him your all
lend him your will
and yet give him more still
worship him
chant his name
let him haunt you and drive you insane
never leave him
he is your fate
you cannot win
you cannot move without his say
you cannot do anything except obey
you cannot demand
you will execute every command
remember who gives you permission to breathe
remember who grants you the freedom to be
remember your place
begging at his feet
and he may just grant you everything

DESTROYING A SOUL

my perfect crime
not one against the people of these lands
but against their foolish and feckless stance
a crime committed
that breaks the law
is not the perfect crime at all
instead of risks and trepidation
wither at people with words inciting hatred
destroy their soul
watch them fall to fear
crash down their walls
and force them to tears
if you want someone hurt
face in their spit and biting the dirt
dead
not much more need be said
then form your plan
and instead of doing it yourself
have your enemies destroy themselves

CHAOS ON TRIAL

assassination
destruction and devastation
erasing of our great foundations
obliteration
destroy the nation
insane creations
slicing
striking
riding off to more fighting
leaving
retreating
an inner self deceiving
asylums of fools
it’s truculent and cruel
this mortal torture be
teaches nothing to me
but in a world torn in two
where the chapter close on you
with these venomous leech like preachers
and corrupt politician teachers
so many rotting bodies
lying there cold lifeless and dead
all these thoughts of madness running through my head
why can Cyric not stop his hand
evisceration eradication and incineration
strangulation alienation and infestation
fossilization incarceration all in one big swirl
I now see Bane's truth
it’s the end of the world
for in the end
my power is thin
so I will dangle like a puppet
from sharp razor wire strings
but I have no blood
I can no longer bleed

WHEN FIGHTENED GIRLS FRIGHTEN

oh so pale
and oh so frail
you’re no fun
you’re dumb
you’re not athletic
you’re just plain pathetic
you’re a nuisance
a bother
a fish out of water
you're shy
you cry
you always whine
you're too weak to see
what you need
if you want to help me
you have to hurt me
if you want to have me
you have to stab me
if you want me so bad
then do something bad
if you want to save me
then please engrave me
if you want me to breathe
then bring me to my knees
can’t you see
look at me
if you want to be my hero
then you have to make me zero
you have to take my crown
you have to meet my grounds
if you want to keep me around
you have to bring me down

THE KILLER OF WHAT

this killer in me
it hungers it needs
its thirsting and craving
for someone like me
his wrath explodes from inside front of my veins
it spills out my life
as I lose my sight
and the walls fall down
emotions flourishing all around
I learn life is a game
some just cheat
ending up beat
to rise again
but in the end
the infinite darkness is unstoppable
hope is impossible
and I am one less false believer
I will not be a hopeless romantic
to the dreams of my former leaders
what’s good is bad
what’s bad is worse
the killer has gotten me
I'm not the first
