Facades Of Justice Most Perturbing.



The politeness of no mercy,
echoes in the dark confines
of the coffins of his victims,
bones rattle applause,
falling in a clatter
as he winces at the injection,
sucking air and fearing death,
much like they did,
it's all sterile, and monitored,
each need attended to,
a sumptuous last meal,
a man of faith to comfort,
family visits to say goodbye.
death politely applied,
not like her last
tormented moments,
begging mercy
in a raw throat,
her sobs ignored
as he extinguished
in a most non-civil way,
all that she ever dreamed of.

The politeness of no mercy
will befall any who harm,
a hair on the heads
of my loved ones and friends.
Gathering all of my
Marine Corps training,
I will get to them
before the state does,
and inflict my
most detailed forms
of politeness
in unmerciful screams.

"And No jury will convict me!"

    wow..this is the second poem i've read today that wasn't what i expected! you know, this made me think. i'm not quite that barbaric, but it almost seems to make the old eye for an eye method not so terrible.

    Shaking my head in agreement as I read, sitting here wondering why people with likes Manson are still alive. Good luck in the contest, you more than met the criteria of the host. If I were to expand on the emotions and thoughts that your poem provoked, you'd still be sitting here at 2am reading.
