The church bell tolls.
Another one down.
They kill off all without faith.
I am wondering now…
What happened to your free country?
Why must I die for it?
Sunday…
Just another day.
Church is just a place.
I am here.
Waiting for my death.
They want me to die!
These shackles…
They cut my wrists…
My ankles.
“Kill them!”
There is a shout.
A shiver runs through me.
“Make them suffer for their sins!”
I bow my head.
And I cry.
Never shall I pray!
Never shall I see,
This “promise land!”
The bell tolls.
Another gone.
They kill without mercy!
“What the hell is wrong with me?”
I scream as I look up.
Only my echo answers.
I shiver.
I am all alone.
No one loves me.
No one tried to save me.
These shackles…
Let them be my death!
For the next,
The bell tolls.
And it tolls for me.

This is different, not what I was expecting, but not in a bad way.
The ending is perfect.
For the next,
The bell tolls.
And it tolls for me.
I love that. Love it.
Thank you for entering my contest.
