One by One

I watch them bleed    one by one       the ruby drops splash hallow'd ground. My razor tongue    lashes swift       'gainst their skin so thin and frail. Their open lips    wetly drip,       timorous, their flesh trembles. My mad glib tongue    into them bores       uncaring and uncorrected. They cry their song,    dulcet tones       striving to do no damage. And still I lash    sharpened wit       my intent states my meaning. Their wounds bemoan    anger groans       my ears are still unheeding. Literatzi,    screaming proud       for my blood their mouths do howl. Yet flashing flesh    holds at bay       those who'd take my voice from me.
