Nate, the slicer

Nate was a slicer
A real-world dicer of flesh
If you mess with the wrong people
Nate would come to see you
With his bag of pain
kept stained rags in there too
To muffle the screams
And stifle the dreams
Of any piece of flesh
Tied up before him
Restore them to Glory
Bless them with innocence
It made perfect sense
A Renaissance of the gory
Rebirth through agony
Nate was a bladed priest
Bringing them to feast
On the pain
Of their own salvation
People fell to temptation
And he made them bleed
So they could feed
on their sin
The ugliness within
Nate carved away
Through his victims' muffled screams
For him it was play
Though he would pray
As he sliced
And delivered their last supper

This was a collaboration with Nix (Nix is typing). She did all the heavy lifting, I barely added a couple of words, but now I'm taking credit.

You did most of the heavy lifting! I'm surprised I even got credit, hehe. I did enjoy going through your poem prompts with you though, "Experiment #36" being one of the many being thrown out there, which of course, I loved. I told you this was basically your poem, Ts, I'm glad you were the one that posted it, I woulda felt like I was robbing you of the opportunity of being the owner of this vunderbar poem!!!

Sounds like an old school slasher movie watched over popcorn. Glued to the flickering tv.

got a regular Jack the Ripper there you two .. took me several lines to hit the cadence (not a rap fan) .. for me there is a lot going on between the lines .. so many things can be read there .. helps readers to see their own story ... Nate is not someone I would sit at supper with .. no no no

I immediately thought I was getting a glimpse of the internal thought processes of Dr. Satan and the glory but wonderful minds of the Firefly Family.. please sir, can I have some more?

Surely this has got some force. To enter a head like Slicer's takes some serious stones. Bravo brave one.
