Justifiable

Swift is the punishment for my injustice
Is this retribution worth the deed
The body shatters, mind collapses
Have I not only enforced what Satan made inevitable
For I have nothing left to give, only to take
My heart has stopped yet it still burns
Wickedness, the embodiment of all who live, seems there is no escape though I lie dead
