*through evil eyes*

THROUGH EVIL EYES

This poem is me writing from the point of view of a non-existent Marilyn Manson, the Marilyn Manson that the media had created at the time. There are a lot of untrue statements in here, and I am in no way speaking for Mr. Manson. This poem is simply the thoughts of a fictional version of a real person.

Thank you for taking the time to read my work!

Love no love. Hate no hate.

Only then do the demons abate.

Fuck not for the pleasure, only the pain

But if you listen to me, you may not stay sane.

I am the god of fuck, the voices in your head

I am the killer of youth cause your childhood is dead.

Give me your life and your soul, that is all i ask

Try to tear my flesh from me and Satan is unmasked.

Look into my eyes, my mind and try to hide your fear

Try to search my heart and soul, but you'll find nothing here.

The future is just the past that hasn't happened yet.

Your enemies are simply friends you haven't really met.

Sanity is nothing solid, simply a belief

When you break its barriers, you'll tremble with relief.

By saying all of this I hope not to gain your trust,

But by the time I finish, I may well have gained your lust.

I am the one that whispers to you in the dead of night,

I am the fucker of the beasts, I am the lord of fright.

I am the one they cheer for, the one they need to see.

Do they ever stop to wonder why it is they cheer for me?

There is nothing between love and hate, only the two extremes.

I hear not the devil's voice, but his demonic screams.

I am the lover of the hater, the greatest paradox of them all.

I am the giant that once inside you doesn't feel quite so small.

I am the crusher of hopes, I have them shredded and sliced.

I am the fucker of the Virgin Mary, I am the AntiChrist.

I am pale, sickly and scarred, I'll sell your soul for ransom.

I am immoral and disgusting, I am Marilyn Manson.
