Array ( [sid] => 143366 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => My Son, My Victim [time] => 2008-06-20 04:53:09 [hometext] => I never knew the significance of this poem till many years later. I just thought it a typical dark piece, but often one does not realize the full meaning of what they wrote when they write it. I hope others will see it for more than just its face value [bodytext] => People…
Crowds, lies, pressures, deceit
Viper’s fangs
Caesar’s horses… armies
Hoof prints trampling tear laden dust
The underground river
Solitude.

Dark
Filled with pain and poison
Flowing
Emotion’s currents curling…
Crying
Damned and stifled from above
Handcuffed…
Struggling.
Needing, wanting

Poison, arsenic, and alcohol
Love & hope lost in the labyrinth.
Stairways, hallways, doors, and paths
A choice!
“Wrong one.
“Try again!
“Sorry, Sorry
“Try again.”

“Too late…
Too late!”
The hangman smiling
Gold teeth shining
While repeating
“Too late, Too late!”

Hangman, gallows, jailer’s halls
The burdens laden
Like dung in stalls
“A great day for a victim
“ The sun is shining
“But not for you…”
“Sorry my son
“My son
“My victim.” [comments] => 1 [counter] => 163 [topic] => 13 [informant] => wheels [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

A strong and touching write. The ending choked me up.
