Curiosity Killed The World Poem by Ricky Lewis

What is this child of his, so deformed?
The epitome of madness, a slave now deity
A spawn of wrath and anguish, truth transformed
So longing for normalcy, but it’s not his destiny

He screams to his creator, he can’t stop falling
Neglect and torture teaches him, the way to live
The peace and love turns to a trait appalling
From this day on death is the only thing he will give

His shriek, so loud and shrill,
The mutant monster closing for the kill
His victims shout to their impotent lord,
Rescue them from this pain so abhorred
Curse the day mankind roused this beast
He can’t stop until his own pain has ceased
So he won’t stop until he’s had his fill

Lost in his thoughts, for some time peace has survived
The pangs of love he feels have somehow been revived
What once was a bloodshot eye now creates a tear
But he knows this is his fate, the monster shall persevere

Vengeance is his to claim, a bloodlust so keen
His human side is a face that has yet to be seen
Will this suffering soul ever achieve salvation?
Or is this a vicious cycle of everlasting damnation?

His shriek, so loud and shrill,
The mutant monster closing for the kill
His victims shout to their impotent lord,
Rescue them from this pain so abhorred
Curse the day mankind roused this beast
He can’t stop until his own pain has ceased
So he won’t stop until he’s had his fill
