weakest link

with smiling face she(i) says:

                            “You are the weakest link
                              Goodbye”

the smile is the
              mask of an executioner
              as he asks for your
              for your final testimony
              (as if he cares)
 
as he(i) pulls the cord
              and the blade descends
              from the “heavens”
              (how could this blade be of God?)

the one(i) fated to die ponders

they(i) are the weakest link in the chain
                  the loose cobblestone amidst a freshly paved street
                  the forest surrounding a city

the blacks smith removes
the steam roller flattens,
the axes fall,
the blade is dropped

“i(the executioner and executed) am the weakest link,
Goodbye.”
