Neglected as his unfit child
Ignored as a means to an end
Blind of any conceptual notions of revenge
A tripod of dishonored fate
humorless tact
fish hooked bait
unwanted scenery in a movie meant not to last
the arrogant devil, his needy assistant,
an unwanted child
the cast
three background players
in a box office flop
yet still the Director ...
just won't fucking stop
Here comes the torture scene
God, its one of many
"HaHa, this is the fun scene"
The Devil jiggles his belly
Now while the needy assistant
hovers around his feet
he points at the ugly beast
the one they've both created
and says "death...you thing."
The thing that is I
closes my eyes
and says....
"Finally."
