Silent with Reason

Missing image
The walls look back in horror,
at the deeds that man can do
Torturous rants, murderous rage,
there is no way to misconstrue

Pure evil is the resident here,
death sat in this chair
Hammers, saws and pliers,
none used for repairs

Screams still heard from years gone by,
a whimper or lament
Nothing helped once you were here,
no compassion, no repent

A monster we’ll call hate,
whose heart was black as coal
With atrocities that terrify,
they could melt a soul

Men and women; children too,
he chose them all at will
For days, he opened up their wounds,
very slowly he would kill

Impoverished bodies splayed,
the squall of victims rings
He was known for heinous crimes,
capable of anything 

The questions asked had no response,
answers never came
Their tongues, their eyes, all body parts,
he did it with no shame

These walls and chair can speak,
their quiet from despair
The terror that they witnessed,
goes way beyond compare

Burn it all with him inside,
this hell right on earth
An evil this atrocious,
was made right from his birth

    The room.. I fear the terror that echo;s within
    Such images you have penned in words, I can see..
    Fear must have been unbelievable and the coldness of chills.
    A wonderful murdering poem
    Best wishes and thank you for your entry
