I watch them bleed  one by one      the ruby dropssplash hallow'd ground.My razor tongue  lashes swift      'gainst their skinso thin and frail.Their open lips  wetly drip,      timorous,their flesh trembles.My mad glib tongue  into them bores      uncaringand uncorrected.They cry their song,  dulcet tones      striving todo no damage.And still I lash  sharpened wit      my intentstates my meaning.Their wounds bemoan  anger groans      my ears arestill unheeding.Literatzi,  screaming proud      for my bloodtheir mouths do howl.Yet flashing flesh  holds at bay      those who'd takemy voice from me.
