Fallax, The Supreme Beast: a collection of short poems.

Hello, Nice to Meet You

I arrive in many different packages.
Some are meant to be, others are carless mistakes.
I am the main course with a side dish of anguish, misery, and despair.
Melancholy, terror, and desolation are the spices that conceal my true taste.
I am eternal, immortal.
Who knew what tragedy I can cause to others?
I can destroy anyone's mental health with a snap of a finger.
They wince at the pain I cause them.
But I can't help them.
I just do my job.
I greet 100 people every minute.
However, I always remember them.
Their names, their genetic makeup, what they like and what they dislike, but most importantly
What I stole from them
Families
Friends
Experiences
Careers
Futures
And that guilt will never go away, for I am meant to destroy lives under.
I've met the celebrities, the citizens, and the psychopaths of every generation.
And soon I will meet you.
For you are suffering too.
