Thank You For Killing Me

Rather be dead
            than be traduced for protecting kin

Prefer to be extinguished        
            than bedeviled for verbal truths

Better to be deceased
            than pen elementary ordure

Disheartened by
            mean spirits leading to my demise

Blood spilled
            on your hands

Your poetry is beautiful and this piece is incredible. I love how simple they appear at first glance, then as the reader peals the word choice apart, it becomes more complex and awe-inspiring. This poem's depth is amazing.
