Lambs To The Slaughter

Missing image
Two minds of evil on children they prayed
innocent lambs in games that were played,
one by one they disappearing from sight
buried in graves on the moor’s in the night.

Ian and Myra both fixated on death
slaughtered our lambs stole their breathe,
with acts of evil a deliverance from hell
both acted normal so no one could tell.

No thought for families left with their tears
they murdered freely over the years,
with no remorse they both had intent
the death of each lamb despicably meant.

Caught for their actions with truth reviled
the secret was out these monsters concealed,
but what of those lambs that lay in the moor
is the truth really known just what it was for?

Some have been found their souls laid to rest
how many lambs died can only be guessed,
A few known now who died are still missing,
whilst locked up for life to Myra we’re listening.

    Looking at their faces still scares me...

    Thank you for entering my contest and sorry it took me so long to comment.

    I love the idea that you are using "lambs" to show the innocence of the murdered children and the wickedness of those who committed such a horrible crime...

    In the second stanza, I think you mean [breath] rather than [breathe] and in the fourth, [revealed] instead of [reviled]?

    Keep on writing!

    wow! I have never heard of the "Moors Murders" Before, but just reading your poem you have educated me!. It reminds me of all of the other sick and twist murders there are going/went on. They don't seem to think of the people that are left behind. They are only wanting to satisify there messed up needs! Best of luck in the contest.

    They certainly were minds of evil. A very well penned piece... eery and sad. Good luck for the contest.

    What an eerir four eyes to look at. Poor children. One thing I want to point out..berried...should be buried. Other than that, a very strong and well written piece of poetry. Good luck in the contest.

    Wow a very powerful and intense piece. They were an extremely evil pair. Such a shame they had to kill so many before they were finally caught. Superbly penned piece. All the best in the contest with it, your pen must be on fire today
