Why Should I Write? (To Poison the Earth)

I'm back
   and it feels
           so nice,
the taste of bile in my throat,
  body shaking
in full force,
     brain screaming,
        in it's padded room
          oh yea!
This is me,
         not that mambi pambi crap.
Back off,
           and let me stew,
what pours from me
melts heaven,
               want a touch?
Would you like to see
the real world?
Countries falling,
       disease,
              famine,
bodies piled so high
   and me without a fork.
         Pulling the strings,
creating the faille of man
   and licking my fingers
         for every last morsel.

You thought 
  you were drowning
                           with me,
wait 'til you reach out
and I snag your hair,
    take you under,
it will last for years,
        now that I have something
                              to play with.

I ain't like nothing you've seen,
my thoughts are creation,
      my touch,
              destruction,
                  so nice.
In the end Midas thought
his blessing a curse,
     Me,
               it's so much better
        if  you sit back
                                   and enjoy.
