Resistance Discharge

I sing the body resistance
Generating heat with every passing joule
Glowing with wasted energy
Breaking every sensible rule

It simply builds up like electrical obesity
Making nonsense in critical ways
No capacitance or useful discharge
At least that's what mom and dad says

Volts over Amps times Ohms
Gives lots of answers with proper input
It is the law after all
Though I smell a mystery afoot

So overly charged I go forth into the world
Melting through walls
Walking the marble halls
Charging every conversation with extra static and tension
Due to my nature
My inbred penchant

It's not terribly productive though
For either my heart or my soul
My touch causes instant death to the living
And reanimates the dead
Who are less than forgiving

Killing life
Causing new ghosts
Bringing in the Frankensteins
Walking hollow hosts

I flee to the hallowed portals of home
Running from all that I'd done
Hiding from excessive potential
Declaring life to be less than fun
Though I harbored all the power under the sun
A seething furnace of power
Ruined by a reality newly undone

It's safer here now
Plugged into the wall on recharge
Nothing living or dead nearby
To give or take life from
With an accidental discharge
