Unforgiving
Like shards of stinging sleet, precision cut droplets
hurl themselves
Slamming against the body
They are whipped into a frenzy by the gale force wind
and slice through the body like a surgeon's scalpel
Numbed to the core it feels no pain
This body is devoid of blood
Its veins contain only ice water
It has no heart
It has no soul
It welcomes this unrelenting and frenzied assault, this frigid onslaught
It delights in it
Let this bloody rampage soak this body to the core
Let the cold rain continue to come down in torrents
Let this body writhe, rejoicing as it's immersed in its torment
From underneath a shawl a shallow and gaunt, hollow face emerges
Two hardened slits, like the eyes of a venomous snake
squint against the frigid onslaught
A scar zigzags across a worn and weathered face
reaching from the mouth to the temple
Evil thoughts delight and consume this demon
For it is a demon on a mission
How long, Oh G-d Must the World endure?
How long, Oh G-d before You intervene?
Save us from the Evil One who is loosed now from its chains
Rampaging forth across the planet
How long, Oh G-d, must we endure
before You put an end to its atrocities?
How long, Oh G-d, how long?
