Those Dealing In Death Can Expect Little More Date: Monday, 1st January 2007 @ 02:04:17 PM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: steeleyes He ought to have had no valid expectation No valid dream to be dealt with differently No other way than how he dealt with others so many on each earlier day His justifications for killing all rang hollow To kill others callously cannot be excused He led a regime malevolent and barbaric Any pleas for clemency understandably refused His treatment of fellow humans was obscene and repeated time and time again There are no valid justifications for all that slaughter, for all that pain A mirror reflection of his own horror, as he lived, so now has he died After all his many victims it can be said his end was justified It is only left for us to reflect on how we wish our own behaviour to be How we will now treat our fellow beings and be a better humanity This poem is Copyright © steeleyes Important note: ALL POETRY ON THIS SITE IS COPYRIGHT.
