Audacious Escape

Feet

heavy tread

coming towards

chained

matted hair

still defiant.

Taken

without qualm

claimed

righteous

witch I be

punished I shall.

I wait

eyes sparking

hatred

deep

sunk into veins

mistake made

allowing me to live

passed first day.

Beaten

iron rods

heated

pressed

sizzling flesh

making me scream

hardening

hatred

revenge

succors me.

Tonight the night

debased

debauched

death

only wrong

as to person found.

Locks picked

hands pretend anchored

come ever closer

whirling dervish

I become.

Terror

bleeds fast

stand over you

false prophet

false god bidden

unbreakable I am

unredeemed are you

walking away

blurring lines

no tenderness found.

Guillotine Raised

I knew

recruited

trained

entire plot planned

rich men

needing to right wrongs

dreadful deeds

shoveled into deep deep hole

history rewritten

to eradicate the fold.

Risen recklessly

seen to be the answer

resurrect a dying party

reassemble

order of aristocracy

head of the snake

cut one down

three more return.

Devil’s in the detail

how much of a fool

how stupid I mean

did they really think I am?

One way in

one way out

death comes to the one who dealt it

stunning blow

like hell I was going to fall

trapped

not me

always another way out.

Evil comes

evil goes

as I sight down

bead drawn

true evil though

will rise again

and again

until aristocrats realize

the plebeian will always win

their time

no more.
