Seditious inclinations seethe submerged.
Weeping meat is painted to look like flesh.
What savageries lurk, longing to be purged?
Fetid, rotten insides tear wounds afresh.
Can such filth, dark as coal, produce these gems
that fall from my lips like toads from their maws?
We who fear the dark of night, light condemns.
Wallow in what lies in masks filled with flaws.
Subsume this foul pit; would your soul submit?
This is a sonnet petit for #FormFindsFunction 's challenge 5, and for prompt #4, Masquerade, from #Heart-of-Poetry. It is much belated to both. :)

Feedback and criticism is welcome~

Very morbid indeed but beautiful in its construction.
