The Fee!

One must always pay those on their knees!

Twist his bones and bend his back,

Cut his meat lean and blue,

Guide that blade to nix the breast,

Lap the blood to come anew.

Bristle tips sooth heavy soles,

Master whips in lashes bold,

Spice the mead with salty sweat,

Drink long and hard never fold.

Grasp his sack and clamp in vice,

Hear his screams as cords get fat,

One more tug to pull them off,

Now dangle them and feed the rat.

Chomping veins and hair alike,

Lasting sight sends thrills to me,

Binding wax will save for later,

Now sit and hurry pay the fee.

A little slice into ones mind!

Dark and violent indeed I would not rate this a slice of heaven. The imagery is so barbaric it makes one laugh nervously knowing what's happening in the world at large. Well done!

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

thank you Andrew.

[Valentine]

This sounds like when slavery was prominant in America. OUCH..Valentine

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Indeed, thank you.

Damn, someone hurt you bad. Either that or your a sick perverted f**k, lol, I'm kidding. This very well penned. I almost felt like I was reading an excerpt from Jeffery Dahmers diary. Not sure I spelled his name right, not that I care to honor such a person in spelling it correctly. Anywhooser, You've penned a rather graphic piece with this one. The image of dangling testicles in front of a starving rat, Fantastic.

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Possibly a mixture of both! Thank you.

[realmwriter]

You are welcome. Hope it didn't come across as insulting.

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Of course not realm, you know I adore all reviews from you.

[realmwriter]

Good to know. Glad that it didn't.

[Jack Cassidy]

Love the imagery in this one and the rhyming scheme is a favorite of mine too.
A very "raw" and graphic poem, usually the ones that mean the most to me... Good job.

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Thank you.

[VennelaMargame]

I almost sounds like it could be a vegetarian poem about a bull being ready for slaughter. Nice rhythms and always the sardonic, dark wit.

Best wishes.

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Thank you.

This piece I really got into. I've always wanted to write with darker tones, but I could never pull it off. But, you? Your work is a marvel. I'm green with envy! Wonderful job. I'll definitely revisit your work when Autumn hits. ^^

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

thank you darling x

[BThomvanWart]

You're welcome~

I never saw souls tortured as punishment for the sake of food. From my point of view, such "food" feeds the perpetrators, satiating their desires of harmful behavior.

Interesting write.

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Thank you.

[Art]

interesting...the mind can imagine even more that what you have had us visualize...nice work...

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

[Troy Henson]

Thank you Darling.

[Pryde Foltz]

You dickens. You did the act justice. Humorous with a touch of the old english about it. Bravo.

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Thank you Pryde.
