there are persons who delight in human suffering
delight in compromising potable water reward themselves
with short-term gains there are persons who delight
in pepper-spraying humans milky relief aftermath

contusion bloom skinrupture bone preen
delight in lethality increase water stream freezing temperature
hypothermic human body response there are persons
who delight in human torment screams
delight in suffering water irony
blue night shiver fear grenade
amputate limb
