Disease and Disfigurement

Rusty-red blotches marred a once-handsome face

 

The grim specter of disease haunted his harrowed face

 

I turned away in disgust at what he'd become

 

Pus-filled savages, living lepers, they wanted me to eat their disease

 

The germs ate their flesh, leaving just enough for them to live

 

The disease spread quickly, reducing the internal organs to mush

 

A pulpy red paste poured from every orifice

 

The wound was raw, infected, oozing with putrescent disease

 

Open sores covered the mewling wretch from head to toe

 

The disease robbed them of their humanity, leaving only monsters behind

 

The creature drooled disease and its bite was the plague

 

There were some things that could not be cured

 

Greasy hands crawling with disease slid over my naked body

 

The infection shot up her spine into her brain where it festered and grew

 

The boil burst, splashing blood and pus in a reeking shower

 

Festering scabs and dirty minds reached out of the darkness

 

To say she looked ill was an understatement

 

The hollows of her cheeks were purple with fatigue and something far worse festered under the skin

 

The fever burned into his brain

 

His brain bubbled with disease, dancing with microscopic madness

 

It was a plague of pus, a storm of sores for which there was no cure

 

The creep's shuffling feet and reedy cough made me sick

 

The swelling grew until I could barely move

 

His red-rimmed eyes burned with the madness of the plague

 

The needle punctured the skin and filled her with every horror known to man

 

A disgusting yellow fluid leaked from his eyes and nose

 

The whip welts were angry pink lines against her otherwise perfect skin

 

Dozens of skin grafts left him looking like a human jigsaw puzzle

 

His acne scars ran so deep, they were like moon craters an astronaut could fall in and die

 

His spit sprayed, germs squirting into my mouth with every shout

 

A million microbes lurked in every inch of that dripping orifice

 

The twisted beggar pawed at me with dirty hands and roving eyes

 

He picked at his scabs and reached for my sandwich

 

He scratched at the open sore on his neck, drawing blood

 

Burst blisters crawled across his lips like ants to a picnic

 

Putrid hearts propelled crooked limbs in a mad rush to infect me

 

The freak crept closer, dragging his heavy clubfoot behind him

 

He shook the scarred stump of his wrist at me in warning

 

His body was a crusted ruin of picked scabs and yellow pus

 

Bloodshot eyes peered dully from his ravaged face

 

Withered and bruised by burst veins, her skin was patchwork horror

 

He longed to put his disease into her and watch her die
