Death Overrules All Judgments Here On Earth
Blank Verse
DEATH OVERRULES ALL JUDGMENTS HERE ON EARTH
In reign of terror, split, with holes and pain,
the sentinel, distained his fingers black.
The pools of sticky-red descend, like mud,
and eyes despise the madman’s gaze, above.
Where flowers bloomed in glassy panes, sublime,
the heart of Vegas shatters - shards of fear.
Screams hail, uplift, the crazy bastard’s smile,
but, final drift of sand will drown this man.
His boat will capsize. Stench of spilt men’s blood
will fill his screaming lungs with death’s revenge.
White robes attend the march of martyr’s feet,
into the pearly gate, with smiling teeth.
