K. James Poet Free verse

It Takes Guts

It takes guts to do what I do…
Torturing those pathetic young women…
Laughing as their eyes roll deep back in their sockets

It takes guts to do what I do…
Making them beg for their lives
Ohh how they cry and promise me anything…
Literally, anything
Stupid tramps!

It takes guts to do what I do
Watching as the life drains directly out of them
Watching the moment they just give up
Crazy tramps!

It takes guts to do what I do
Taking non-essential organs as they watch
It’s fun when the anesthesia starts wearing off…
And they see their spleen being pulled directly from their belly
Useless tramps!

It takes guts to do what I do…
….“Kevin, it’s time to put away the video games and join us for dinner…”

If only I really had the guts…

Really enjoyed reading this one…thanks and super congrats for this entertaining and twisted (in a good way!) write! :D
