The victim is chained, he stares
In this empty room bound to a chair
Dim light creates evil shadows
In the darkness enclosed
Forever, he is exposed
In the darkness he awaits
For his master to bring his torture case
When his master walks in
The procession can soon begin
The agony is excruciating
As blade rips through flesh
Exhilarated and insane
He watches old wounds turned fresh
He is but a slave turned into meat
Saw shreds through his bone
As the blood mixes so sweet
His master cracks a whip from his throne
As the slave whispers prayers and groans
He is tortured and beaten
Could be dead, but heart still beating
His master enjoys splitting slave’s skin
And finds joy in tormenting slave’s kin
The master stands with hands stained
As the slave lays with arms chained
The master’s lust never satisfied
As the slave lies here, waiting to die
Body raw, meat severed
Blood dripping, still waiting
The slave is powerless to struggle
As the master prepares to separate muscle
Tools spread out, gloves on
The surgeon starts at dawn
Slave closes his eyes and braced
For what comes next he couldn’t face
One by one, he cuts tendon
And severs muscle with his weapon
He scrapes and stabs, tears asunder
The slave roars, mighty as thunder
Last comes the gutting
As the surgeon grabs his bucket
Then tears open intestine
One by one slave loses section
The slave passes from the world
As his blood gushes upon the floor
The master wipes off the gore
And throws away the meat he tore
The sun rises upon a new slave
The master threw the old one away
We placed a stone upon his grave
Simple and round, not engraved
The master was ignorant with his old ways
For the new slave was powerful and brave
The next morning, a new hole was made
After a night of agony, the master was laid
Inside his own shallow grave

A fine and graphic write. Man at his worst, treating fellow-man in ways we would not treat pigs, or dogs, or any animal, though there's animal cruelty too, sadly.
