One Word

-One Word-

One
Word
Absurd
Solitary
The idea
Crazy
It’s just me
Being lazy
Crafting
Editorializing
Bullshit
No one
None
Are listening
Seeing
Is indeed
Not believing
They
Those
Out there
You
Want some
More than
I can afford
More than
They can consume
Gluttonous bastards
Born through sin
Forgiven
Unlike me
We are not one
Never is
Or will be
Any case
If they are sheep
Then I am
Without question
A carnivorous wolf
Upon myself
I have learned
To dine
Carrion
Is usually scrapped
From the roadside
Discarded
Thrown away
Wasteful sustenance
Deemed disgusting
But unlike them
I will consume it
Feasting galore
Always and more
One
Word
Skill
None
Thrill
Some
Arrogance
Quite a bit
How could I
Sum it all up
Something so vast
So complete
Across
All life
Beyond
All spite
Narrowing
The choice
Down
From millions
To just
A single term
One
Word
There is
No need
For more
All of this
All that has been
Is just
Filler my friends
Taking up space
Useful the waste
Like that carrion
Sustenance
For the masses
That they won’t eat
Just because
They are beyond
Such disgust
Their need
To survive
Is not as great
As mine
Maybe in time
Desperation
Will propel them
To act as if
But until then
One
Word
All that I have
All that I mean
What is it
What could it be
Simple
It should be
Easy
It should seem
But
It’s certainly not
One
Word
Thus
Here we are
At some end
A conclusion
Of sorts
I bet you thought
That I
Was going to tell you
Not…
