Preternatural Psychosis

grotesque feared creatures from www.scarystudies.com

How strange we humans are in our fascination

with blood and gore, the fearsome, lurking grotesque 

unexplainable forces  that threaten us, the supernatural 

and the hovering of ghastly skeletal figures carrying

scythes, ghosts of the avenging dead, curses and

spells, incantations, incarnation, demonic possession

objects that move of an inexplicable volition

the threat potential of strange heavenly objects

and aliens peering Earthward deliberating over

visiting a swift stroke of oblivion to the sphere

carrying proto-intelligence of a violent disposition.

For in  humanity's other obsession, that of 

waging conflict on one another there is ample gore

untold numbers of lives lost yet of little interest

to those fully engaged in terror inspired by the 

imagination of creative horror-mongers while 

those powerful figures who inspire and conspire

to murder on a mass scale are viewed with the

dispassionate gaze of total human indifference.
