Unspeakable

I only mention subsequent evil inventions

in hopes that revealing malevolent conventions

forestalls dread recurrence once known

I have a tale of horror to tell

known to none save myself

Its details warrant eternity’s hell

Its knowledge has crippled my health

This recent example of wickedness sampled

Pertains to friends that I had

Companions that loved me; whose lives I then trampled

Friends that now are dead!

I hadn’t intended such reckless extinction

designs never encompassed demise

Impassioned depravity brought forth a travesty:

Gazing in horror I took all their lives!

It began as a plan to defraud the man

In charge of assuring estates

My heart was brimmed with larcenous sin

‘ere he approached my front gates

I filled required forms with numerals borne

of fraudulent valued assessment

Knowing full well devised infernos’ hell

Would soon repay doubled investment

Said friends were enticed to consecrete nights

bequeathed to lust and debauchery

Never suspecting tragedy threatening

None ever imagined such treachery

We spent numerous hours engaged in showers

of morally bankrupt reliefs

And then as all converged on main hall

I initiated wanton release

Perdition was formed and incubus born

by methods contrived of myself

Oh, the horrors that followed ! Such terrors that swallowed

All who had entered that house!

Intended devices to evacuate masses

were laid waste by confusion and panic!

Multitudes burned as huge flames churned

And smoke engulfed basement to attic!

Horridly charred torsos; hideously singed corpses

Hung from scorched gallery railings…

Masses of humanity destroyed by insanity;

consumed by result of my failings!

As families of those whose daily life woes

were cancelled by cursed inferno,

met to retrieve their dearly bereaved

I never once mentioned what I know

Then, after the morrow ,as , engulfed in sorrow,

all viewed grim atrocities wrought

Official met, expressing regret;

and one issued reward that I’d sought

Such foul and fiendish, felonious feelings

flowed from out of that cheque

I couldnt hold it;

My soul I had sold it!

It became a noose ’bout my neck!

Strong swirling winds conceived from fire bins

Swept up and sucked breath away

Thundering clouds descended like shrouds

Blotting light from the day

All hearts stopped as apocalypse dropped,

cloaking mortals with fear

Everyone there was acutely aware

their own deaths loomed ever more near

Black skies split as infinity glimpse

revealed now dreaded Creator

“Eaternal repentence !” demanded Tri -Eminence

“Assure that justice is sated!”

Mere feet of clay melted away;

Instant punishment fell

I was sentenced to spend time without end

In the depthless recesses of hell

As I hurtled down, limbs tightly bound ,

Deep into satans’ dark pit

“Wait!” said Almighty, this mustn’t go lightly

“I believe I’ve a judgement more fit!”

The next thing I knew my mind went askew ;

I was quoting the lines to this tale

Now when anyone asks it’s my endless task

to repeat what I know only too well

I’ve quoted these lines millions of times

Professed to the world of my sins

So please do not question this shameful confession

‘Lest I’m compelled to say it again

I’ve only mentioned previous evil inventions

in hopes that revealing malovelent conventions

forestalls dread recurrence once known
