Judge Jury Executioner

I bled for you

silent war

waged

voices raised

raucous screams

gun fire

head down

race the streets

blood flowing

no time

forever gone

to turn tide

too late…..

nightmares

faces seared from memory

hands groping 

victim made

victim no more.

Placed in my hand

outstretched

grenade 

rictus stretched

insanity behind the eyes

brought forth

cackle harsh

run 

run

I will still have my fun

I will wait for you my love

and you

and you

for I will find

each 

everyone

bullied

beaten

raped with words

with venomous intent

with parts of body

left me behind…..

death would have been welcome

death would have been sweet succor

death would have been not my way out.

 

To be continued…..
