Incorrigible Sinner

His name fills us with fright;
We won't forget his crime;
We can't forgive him this time;
We distrust him day and night.

We view him with disgust
We hold him in contempt
He did something unjust.
He quartered a bee.

Incorrigible sinner!
His hunger does not move us;
May his body grow thinner!
He quartered a bee.

What this man did is not fair;
This libidinous blackguard
deserves the electric chair.
He quartered a bee.

Childish, menefreghista,
and conceited. It irks us
that such a maggot exists.
He quartered a bee.

We well knew: If he carvest
a bee, he will not be free.
He could've been smartest.
He quartered a bee.

He's not the person you want to be.
He quartered a bee.

Ivo, I read your vivid poem and I am reminded of the movie "Natural Born Killers". It is a story of vicious unrepentant murderers. Did you ever see it? If not, find it and watch it and see if it reminds you of your wonderful poem. Your poem of course is much more succinct and eloquent. I so enjoyed it! Peace...Sam

I can identify, but sometimes what will be will be. I was at the spa pool one day and saved a bee from drowning. As it was drying its wings it slowly crawled away and someone came out of the gym and stepped on it. I just said, oh noooo! Your poem brought back that memory of just a little bee with bad luck.
