Killing to begin again
My tears are spent,
Dried up like a pond in a desert.
Around me the dying cry out for mercy
And I have no more to give.
I have no more bullets
And my blade is blunt.
This disease is terrible,
The suffering immense,
A vile plague from the factory of man!
Engineered to kill,
But not all,
Oh no not all!
A quarter mercifully die after suffering
It is the half that live,
That beg to die!
How do you say no to a child,
Who's screams of agony eat at your soul,
Like a hyena chewing a bone?
So much blood,
I cannot fathom how they carry on.
They should be dead, but...
They are not.
We kill them, burn them,
We just cannot get rid of them fast enough
They just keep coming,
Begging to be put to rest!
How can I turn the other way?
Thought shalt not kill!
Ha, what if you had no choice?
How can I justify letting them suffer?
For now...
I can only watch,
Watch as they beg me to kill them,
Relieve them of their torture.
Tomorrow I will kill some more,
Just not today,
I need to wash their blood off,
I look once more at the sunset,
Watch the sky turn to red,
Like the streets around me.
Could almost lie to myself,
That I am only in an abattoir,
Yet every time I cull,
I see the release in their eyes,
Something I will not have for a long time...
Something I might actually never have.
The dead are the lucky ones...

Sir Phillip!!!.....you're such a good writer........great vocabulary.....sense of timing.....choose great subject matter.........and actually consider your writes before delivering them........but......why explore the inexplicable aspects of this thing we call life?.....I do enough of that for both of us!!..........it seems to me..........a talent such as yours .........is better spent promoting positivity..........not ........the beautiful negativity in this thing we call life..............you're so good..............your words matter.........exploring your art is understandable........but I see greatness in you..........food for thought brother!!.........and remember.............I'm just an asshole who's opinion doesn't really matter............but yours does.........ttyl..........T xx
Through negativity, positive results may be achieved. Thanks for the comment. I do try to be positive. Sometimes like the death of a 5 year old girl, with a 15 year old girl going missing, presumed dead, just weighs a bit much and it just brings out the negative. This is why I like the topics every month. If opinions never mattered, how would we not grow as creators of the word?
