'M'


The mindless monogamy
of the Master and his Wife,
shall cease to be
when he’s seduced by a temptress,
so wily and so dangerous;
melting his moralistic masquerade,
and filling it with malicious intent,
vicious and lethal.

The marrow of marriage
is stolen by the marauder, who,
with murderous intent,
sought to molest a woman’s modesty.

And the masque called society,
with it’s montages of mediocrity,  
consoles her with a mawkish glance,
while exalting Man-the predator. 

Will, then, this mendacious memento
of a meaningless matrimony,
mar, muzzle and massacre
the reason of life, the voice of love?

No!

Justice, from this moment,
will ne’er be again merciful.
It will be swift;
ceasing to meander, seeking to punish
the malevolent misconduct
of the misguided monsieur.

While the mangled remains
of the misconduct of manhood
lie merely as an example
to deter those seeking to make
a malicious mistake…

…be warned,
for the mask of unfaithfulness
will cause only mayhem,
and consequences, violent and macabre.

  1. A different theme, and obviously the 'V For Vendetta' inspiration that is so apparent. A lot of skill and effort could only have helped in writing such a brilliant poem.
