Today

Born into the black abyss
Awash in a sea of disease
Drowning in life's sewage
Blackness eating at me
Refusing to make a plea

Carnivorous
Ravenous
Raucous

Raised in the fires of hell
Tempered in the battles of the street
Sharpened on the prison wall
King Kong cannot hold me down
Refusing to wear a frown

Burning
Yearning
Turning

Wit cutting like a knife
Slashing at societal bounds
Jabbing into the flesh
Stand aside all that oppose
Lest you shall take it on the nose
