Kieran Simons Poet Verse

The Dictator

They say if you drop pennies
from a skyscraper you can crack
open someones head.
Handfull of change im looking over the 
edge.

Theres a woman leant up,
against the building.
I like this power
my name in lights 
her life
in my hands

I hold my coin over the edge 
im ready for the shock
the pain, the anguish,the suffering
and she could never even know
they'll all know soon though

i drop it and wait for the screams 
its strange how quick the human body goes limp
her head didnt crack but shes dead
 i can tell from how she hit the ground.

i dont feel any guilt 
just power 
i controlled her fate
like some kind of cruel god 
ruling over them all
and my reign will be bloody.
