Contagious



Contagious
That is my design
Infected when injected 
As I pill these sinister rhymes
The gangrene
Unseen 
Apt for your necrosis
First stage dormant
Hidden diagnosis 
Like a dose of crazy  
My words have created a twisted baby  
Hatred, it saved thee  
Know no other, homunculi maybe  
Must seek clarity 
A tale sealed away in the anatomy  
Prepare your mind  
As these words become dystrophy

The audacity of these metaphors
Spreading its way into these lines
Reproducing increasingly 
An Egyptian plague of our times
Grievous 
These devious words it gives us
Knocking at the cranium with something mysterious
Please come out and play
Let’s do something mischievous 
Hear these voices talking back  
True illness   
They praised me  
Now the blood desire fuels me
The beast within  
Now compelled to sin 
Overwhelming desires  
Released as I breathe it in

Meta human; superhuman 
I've failed the gene therapy
Born like this
Element undefined in chemistry
Addressed me as a menace   
A complicated crime  
Masterpiece of destruction   
Swiveling through your rhymes 

Contagion, taking over your minds.
