Burn the body
Bury the boy
It's the only way
Save your soul
If they can't find it
No one shall ever know
It never happened
No consequences
Don't talk about it
Don't give us all away
Lies are beautiful
We stay free
...
The beginning, middle, end
Were all accidents
Never planned
Animal instincts took over
The thing makes us evil
We who should be holy
The world shall never know
It never happened
The boy got lost
He died, that's all
Never found---perhaps drowned
We aren't to blame
...
He had it coming
How dare he get in our way!
It was fun while it lasted
We must put on our acceptable faces
They have given up
It's impossible to find him
No blame on us
God is on our side
We are good at this
Life is perfect
The world loves us
Now it is time to mourn...
Author notes
Contest: Part Poetry
It was so perfect! I read the qualifications, and I knew it was Fate. I had written the start of this last night, and it evolved from there, with much running and excitement. Can anyone guess what I was going for?
(Another poem I love. Yay for the nasty stuff!)
