I find myself pretty dissatisfied with this crapfest.... I wouldn't consider it a final version, cuz I really want this one to be good. But yeah, mankind sucks.

Other Than You or I by Sir Nicholas Schram

Spat like a bastard child from
The womb of Mother Earth
The Serpentines came to be
And the elder children
Were to know this brother only as
“Your Majesty.”

What deception is this, where
Insolence is embraced
With an open palm;
An iron fist of
Industrial cowardice?

Who should sit
On a throne so high
Under a crown
Of rotting flesh?

Not this aberration,
This abomination of sanity
Chaotic manifesto in the worldly order.

What filthy whore
Could feast on the hearts
Of fallen comrades
And still call himself king?

A modern Alexander, the Prate:
Ambitious and malicious
Insidious child of the ferns.

What brother could suck a
Sister’s flesh with a barbed tongue
And swallow a sanguine morsel?

What son could love not a Mother’s touch
But savor her sweet blood?

A hideous Oedipus, that
Rapes with gnashing teeth
An insatiable appetite for the meek.

What vile fiend,
Other than you or I?

Feedback/suggestions are more than welcome, as usual.
