THE FALL OF ITS ALL
By Jackie Conner
The anger burns deeply inside IT. Ascending steadily, increasing in intensity up to and beyond the boiling point.
The impossibly intense pressure of animosity and hate engorges and engulfs everyone and everything in ITs path to the apex as ITs future was unknown.
The raging, explosive mass lingers just beneath the surface, as the inevitable closes in on IT waiting for the proverbial other shoe to drop. The monolithic mass seems to say “Go ahead, make my day!”
Suddenly and unsurprisingly the angst, like a razor slicing through hot water, erupts, expelling ITs ever growing divisional, hateful
indignation into the infinite scowling’s of what
IT believed to be an oblivious, unbelieving,
immoral ally system of Justice.
As IT falls gracelessly, spiraling utterly and
ridiculously out of control crashing upon the
disheveled surface of reality, from whence IT
was disgorged, like an iron butterfly.
After IT came crashing down, all around IT lay
the mangled, mutilated, shredded ruins of ITs
decades of decadence. Within the aftermath
there was not one iota identifiable of what IT
once had been.
The destruction achieved during ITs regimes
rein was exceptionally terrifying.
IT came horrendously and deadly close to the
edge of the inability to reverse ITs destructive
ego. ITs damning, vengeful and tyrannical
effects still pose consequences that are the
direct results of ITs destructive, vulgarity filled
words and actions and will be forever etched
into the minds of everyone affected and seen
in everything IT infected.
Fortuitously, all was not lost due to IT.
Relievingly, IT and ITs agents of orange were
gone. Thrown into an inescapable dungeon for
what would be ITs remaining time of
existence.
Never to return...
THE GLEEFUL END
