Sicko, a poem by Abhinav Aradhi

 

Sicko

Sharpen your blade,

And let its wicked gleam

Illuminate your desires,

As doomed as they are.

 

Polish your firearm,

And let its metallic menace

Frighten your victims,

As fatigued as they are.

 

It's all about the thrill,

Isn’t it?

The raw rush of feeling,

Everytime the knife sinks in?

 

The utterly orgasmic sensation,

That comes with suffocation?

By taking lives,

You feel revitalized.

 

You snatch up little ones,

And bash their horizons onto the floor,

And as their vitality leaks out,

You give a little youthful giggle.

 

Couldn’t you have had a mundane motive?

One that involved a simple little monetary greed?

One that caused the reporters to turn the other cheek,

For fear that it wouldn’t be sensational?

 

For you, it had to be the theatrics.

You took a sick thrill in your clean little games.

You are cruel,

And your sheer lackadaisical nature is horrifying.

 

We all are just a way
For you to get off, huh?

All the bodies beneath your crawlspace,

Meaningless, for the sake of your orgasm?

 

All the names you’ve blotted out,

And tainted with your image?

When someone thinks of their beloved,

They’ll instead think of how you slaughtered them.

 

You brute.

You utter brute.
