Ontological Substantiation

(Cogito Ergo Morimini)

 

Eris said
To a Hive
That she had
Left alive
Let us both 
Logic swords
I will contradict
You 

Come now make 
Your resistance
And challenge 
Existence
Too many
Have died
Proving your
Logic true

Such a contest 
O Vengeance 
With none else
In attendance 
With no tithing
Or knife
Would be wasting 
Your breath.

I'll be knife
You'll be tithes
Eris flashed 
Her three eyes
With my wrath
And my will
I disprove
You to 
Death.

If anyone is curious, the original poem that this one is based off of, is here. I had very much wanted to do this one as a concrete poem in the shape of a sword, but Ao3 and Tumblr both refused to allow me to do the spacing I wanted so you get it in boring poem format here.
