Bamboozled

Stare into eyes which do not blink.
They follow as you move, linger when you pause.
Never be hunted to the brink.
What is underneath might not be your cause.

Possessed from the upper tier.
Break these bonds and escape this cage.
Get as far as you can my dear.
For only barbarity prevails with its rage.

Juxtaposition in a sea of slaughter.
Rap on the walls as the floors swallow.
Sacrifice your only daughter.
Then no more negativity will follow.

Brought forth from realms of night.
Wage your wars in this dying light.
Where they will…

Hunt you down like a lame dog.
Turn your life into one big slog.
Run you through with a razor’s edge.
Trick you into accepting a lopsided pledge.
