Gods in FleshDon't degrade my immortalityGods in Flesh4 years ago in Urban & Spoken Word More Like This
Flesh I maybe
But capable of great things
Drenched in the blood of my past
It smeared the small of my back
Till I walked neck high
In unholy torment
Slay me but not my name
Celestial royalty I have my place
No hand has say in my path
I witness eons of struggle
Become stronger
With my mind devour
Dissect, produce, create
Inventor of the ages
Grow in spirit
Understanding will last my kin
Worship ourselves and outlast
Beings of light
Encased in flesh and time

"Carl, there's a dead human in our house!"
My best friend-and roommate-Carl, was in the kitchen, doing the dishes, which was odd, because Carl never did the chores.
He shuffled over and poked the dead body with his foot. "Oh...hey...how did he get here?" Blood was pooling on the floor, from multiple stab wounds in the dead man's chest.
His lying tone was obvious. I stared at him, alarmed. "Carl, what did you DO?!"
He waved a hand nonchalantly. "Me? I didn't do this."
"Explain what happened, Carl!" I said angrily. These kinds of things seemed to happen whenever I went out...
"I've never seen him before in my life!" Carl protested.

There's a man on the floor
And what's more Carl is there
There's a dead human, I say
What has made him this way?
So I command that Carl explain
I've never seen him, says he
Until you showed him to me
I've seen him never before in my life
I ask Carl why he'd kill him
My tone of voice is quite grim
But murder is Carl's least favorite thing
I demand again he explain
And with his expression unchanged
Carl denies all my claims, he'd been busy
He'd been in his room reading The Great Gatsby
And this man barged inside without asking
I am shocked when Carl finally says…
"And I, uh…I stabbed him 37 ti

The sting tells you that you're alive.
The sting shows you can feel.
The sting shows you aren't hollow inside.
And yet it tells you no one cares.
You stopped yourself at first.
Said it was too much of a hassle to get up,
To get the blade,
But then you looked over.
And there I was,
No more than six inches away,
Within arms reach.
Scissors.
It might take some effort,
But I do the same thing.
Get a sweatshirt to hide it,
Not that anyone would notice.
Your parents have finally given up,
Said you're a lost cause,

Over there
She's the girl who played with scissors.
She tried to be one of us
But she was weak
Scissors.
(and they scoff here)
We have hunting knives
and razor blades.
We have methods
and logic.
We've thrown away
the little, unimportant things.
Like guilt
and regret.
All that's left for us is pain
and we like that,
thank you very much.
You can take your scissors
elsewhere now.
You don't really know
what suffering is.

Too delicate of a name for the creature that sat before me. She was well built, a bit bulky in the shoulders even. Her gaze was firm and strict, unmoving except for the occasional needed blink. Red hair hung around her hardened face, making her grey skin appear more of a shade of pink than anything. Past this angry expression, I knew all too well it could flip into a dirty smirk, just like a needle could come popping up out of nowhere. She was a tricky little bitch, she was. Kind in a strange sense of the word meaning more of a “I won’t kill you today, but watch your back tomorrow, alright?” sort of way. Sure, at t

let them hear your praise,
see you knelt before them,
like some common slave.
Raise your voice,
pour your soul into each word,
sell it to the greater evil.
give them your freedom,
to feel,
to think,
to be who you are,
all in exchange for one fleeting,
brush of wings.
Bow before them,

are you afraid?
Not of the Devil they speak of,
but of those Angels,
pure white wings,
tainted with the blood,

The ones who kept their souls,
the ones who saw,

Of your God.

deadly lines of crimson painted upon the flesh
by a sharpened scythe.
I am dancing with the Reaper,
my lifeline held by his gnarled hands.
I am falling across the waters,
drowning in the river of lost souls.
Death-chilled breath rolling in thick waves
across closed eyelids,
the soft patter of a hunter's tread across the bloodstained floor.
I am dancing with the Reaper,
I am flirting with my death.
I will know the corpse glazed eyes that bore into mine
as the curved blade slices into my ribs.
Grave dirt's muffled sound

Something that is not quite right.
The shadows haunt beneath me
Swirling just out of my sight.
The darkness threatens to swallow,
Everything that I live for.
But it promises to hold me,
So I cant really ask for more.
The blackness is a cradle,
It wraps me warm inside.
Bring out all the monsters,
As they sing me lullabys.
They sing me:
"The monster in the mirror,
The demons in the night,
The place my heart cannot love,
Where I cannot see the light
For I know my heart is broken
But I fear to give up the fight."
Maybe monsters aren't so scary,
They are scared just like me.

Despite his warning, Caroll could not take her eyes of the amazing suit hanging right next to her.
She resisted the temptation and waited for about 10 minutes. But her patience grew heavy.
*Have you found my boots yet?*
No response. She took another look at the suit. The zipper, open, left the shiny interior exposed. It felt like it was begging to be used. A suit of this quality would be very expensive, she tough. She might never have such an opportunity again.

Nothing goes amiss.
I keep things inside,
Long ago the love inside me died.

Make everyone think I'm fine.

I watch the blood flow from my veins.
I stay locked away,
In my cell, in my chains.
