About time I submitted a piece of poetry... Seems like I've been doing nothing but graphics and photo-manipulation recently, so I wanted to get a poem finished and posted. This is one I've been working on for a while, I've probably mentioned the title in a previous journal entry or two. Anyway, this was originally much longer but once I decided to take it in a more, shall we say, abstract direction most of the setting and extra details got cut out. I have a longer (and mostly unfinished) version of this that is much more rooted in reality, so to speak, and I may eventually finish that and post it here under a different name. Or not, I am very lazy, after all... So if this doesn't flow very well or fit together right in your mind, that may be why. It works fine for me though, so it's your own fault... But I always say that...

I don't remember where the title came from, I just remember wanting to tackle the subject of the "evil doctor" or "mad scientist" as so many other poets or songwriters have done and this name came from somewhere and stuck with the writing the whole time. I think it sounds pretty good, even if it doesn't make much sense in the context of the writing itself. I considered going with other titles like "Zombie Medicine" or "Voodoo Madness", among others, but as usual, my first title idea was the one I ended up using. Don't like? Don't read... Very simple.

This is NOT supposed to be a real serious, emotional poem like my usual submissions. I just wanted to have a bit of fun, dabble a bit deeper into the macabre and write something a little different from my usual self-loathing semi-suicide notes. So judge as you will but keep in mind that it's not supposed to be serious.

The picture is an old creation of mine, just a simple combination of stock photos (it's been a long time so I forget where they came from) and a few effects. I like to call it "Eye-V" (how very clever of me.... huh?... yea, right...)

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this. Comments and opinions are appreciated but not by any means required. I'm usually too lazy to comment too, so if you don't feel like it, I understand... just try not to hate the fucking thing and we'll get along just fine, alright? Cool... Take it easy
