Homicide Poems

Premium MemberThe Ways and Means of Death

I'm just stepping out of line.
I've missed my time to shine,
But don't mourn me;
My soul will soon run free.

Preparing for the long goodbye,
Few know when or why.
Accepting what they can't deny;
In the silence, I hear them cry.

Others are taken by surprise;
Love ones left with only whys.
Hearts and lives suddenly broken.
No goodbyes ever spoken.

When the body

Premium MemberCertified Homicide

With one smoking gun,
I make a good living.
I'm a Squire for hire,
And I'm unforgiving.

I'm real blue steel,
Like a midnight thriller.
I'm primetime crime,
And a certified killer.

With fire and desire,
I'm the best in town.
The Devil on the level,
And I'll put you down.

High priced and enticed,
To get the job done.
No shame in the game,
And I do it for

George Floyd

I
I tried not to mention the crime
Siblings, it is high time
America stopped self-flagellation,
Self-hate, self-abnegation

II
I feel for him, brother George ("of the earth")
I came close, but saved by a different birth
To feel the accusing eyes: "Me, the evil one"
Only because I stayed in school, joined the run

Black America wants to drive, play ... like us
Tired of

Have any of you peeps heard of the latest craze
Stuffing pepper up your nose till your mind's ablaze
You think of suicide
With a friend by your side
Unless the friend objects, then it's homicide portrayed

Homicide

HOMICIDE
					I shot him,
Blood allover the walls,
Night ain't real,
Scavengers poking his body,
Children screaming and panting, 
Am numb,speechless and arrogant.

Silence is the environment, 
Dark is the light, 
Dead body still and not moving,
Anybody here is the question, 
Scattered this and that, 
Just a humble man that i killed.
 
Crime is not what i did, 
But why i

Villanelle : When countries slaughter maim who brands that homicide

When countries slaughter maim who brands that homicide
Proclaim citizens who kill under the patrie’s pennant heros
Permissible by far all things done to boost national pride

Killing for your god even to ward off a remark thought snide
Fellow believers’ll enshrine your name in martyrs pantheons
When countries slaughter maim

Justified Homicide

While words roll on and cameras turn
The sea beats the "saviours" and the fires burn
Within the depths of the watery grave
Of men not old, not young, not brave.

Just normal men who had a life
A child or two, a home, a wife.
No super powers did they possess
To live this way - before this mess.

Remember too,

Birthday Homicide

The singing is about to end,
Happy Birthday, my little friend.
Please think before killing me,
I’m just a cake candle, you see.
One exhale from you and I’m out.
If I had lungs, you’d bet I’d shout.
I want to live and grow hearty,
Not die at a birthday party.

Vehicular Homicide

There is no shame in nakedness of self
Discarded were the clothes of woodland creatures
Who would have worn them off eventually

Stand before me,
Look-
There upon that black shelf
The one that extends forever in directions of the sun

Watch-
Up and down this opening
Lay the bodies of my heritage
Killed by “zippets”
All my toes, I counted them, they had not a
