The Art Of Craniotomy

we need to hardwire 

a passive response,

borderline, fragmented 

and nonchalant

emotionless to the abuse 

we’re inflicting,

welcoming to the nerves 

we’re twisting

pain medication 

will be administered

to mask the discourse 

we’re predicting,

the sensations 

we’re restricting

will lose their sense 

of language,

the aftereffects

we’ll carefully manage,

through antidepressant

medication 

you’ll lose all sensation 

thus, preventing retaliation,

the operation will be complete

when you’re asleep on your feet

making you more malleable

to suggestion and response,

borderline, fragmented 

and nonchalant,

once we erase 

your will to live,

you’ll have nothing

left to give,

the Art of Craniotomy,

such a beautiful mutilation

an award-winning operation,

those without sound mind 

will never find peace or relief, 

those who’ve never excepted grief

will require a drill to the head

leaving them bed bound 

and left for dead
