Alyssa Strand Poet Free verse

Their eyes were following

Their eyes were following, the girl 
was following, the guard
was following the road
Was going to the blade
That was calling on the girl
From the disgusting little king
The girl was following God
Was following the word
Was following love
The king was following himself
Was following his words
Was following his hate
The girl closed her eyes
Said a little prayer
Prayed for the ones, that didn't care
Prayed for king, full of hate
And for the ones who wepped
Prayed for the day
That others could say
"Lord I pray"
