Accused of wrong doing, recompense was demanded.
Inflicting retributive punishment is what I was handed.
Relentless struggle to take in air, my voice so rasp.
Agonizing, laborious striving to inhale, I gasp.
Monotonous effort, to force my body to breathe.
All energy spent, a body not worthy of life, I seethe.
Too weak to continue, as hopeless as it seems,
To end this misery, was only in my dreams,
A calm settled as images of my bygone years showed.
The irony of death giving me life was blissfully bestowed.
All pain diminished, as visions of heaven came to me.
Peace beyond dreaming on my journey to the cemetery.
