Abyssal Edge

Don’t you think The Edge of the World is a wonderful and terrifying place?

At no other place can you see such a defined end and beginning.

Our world ends and the void begins.

Now it if was allowed and you could get away with it,

who would you hurl into that void?

Chucking them off the edge of the world.

How divine.

A poetical end for your enemies.

Imagine that the laws of karma didn’t apply.

That you’re doing the world a favour.

Myself, I’ve a long list of people who I’d execute.

They would think long and hard about their crimes

while falling off The Edge of the World.

No one would save them.

And they would fall forever,

no mercy of smacking into solid ground here.

I’ll go looking for them and enjoy my task.
