Holy Homicides

Lying here numb staring at the walls of filth Waiting for the time, the moment of truth Its time now, I am going. So long! Ceremonious exile to the world I belong This wasteful existence they call life I've endured for long this strife Mortal souls thrive in this hollow black hole This bottomless pit I've lost my soul The futile depths I delved were like endless roads The well of ignorance, the reign of knighted toads I lied low in the deep trenches of the shallow pits Enslaved and suppressed by my noble kings I've waited for aeons for that fireball to die And the immortal light to begin and shine Honorable men and dutiful wives have arrived To see this iconoclast getting rightfully crucified Let this bring World Peace and justice for all For ‘In god they trust', ‘god save'em all' The resonant sound of their march I hear My royal attire for the night is coming near Those iron chains of freedom I can already feel Emancipated and flying to the surreal It's such a joy to die as a beast Social animal with inhuman traits ‘Created' by a sacred clan called mankind Cast-away by men who stab from behind They take me away to the crossbar poles Fearless soldiers, moral zealots and sacred souls The clergy waiting eagerly for the moment so gory Their moment of bliss and ephemeral glory They open their newly bound books Sanctimonious preachers and wicked crooks Revered and feared they just want to be Ready to sing me my final lullaby For my glorified soul to rust in pieces May it satiate their spirits, my nemesis The executioners back on duty again Their ten seconds to fame about to begin Dignitaries receiving judicial enlightenment Taken some time off for some family entertainment Crucified and hanging from the gallows heights I take a tranquil look at the last sights Of a treacherous world that was never mine A world of miseries and remorseless crime The bells are chiming, now is my time Bid farewell to a life unworthy of a dime But mark my words till the end of your days I'll be in the worst nightmare you'd ever face.

Wow, powerful writing, you give to us. I suggest that you could change I Do Not Know? to Lyric Form. however, I think this poem is wonderful and I have rated it 7. Constance
