Array ( [sid] => 142177 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Chore of Waiting [time] => 2008-05-06 15:48:19 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Killing is easy
It's the waiting thats the chore
Waiting for my target to come through the door
And flash the expression : confusion and fear
As i lunge and i cut and they bleed their red tears
"You shouldn't of done that" i whisper with joy
Then leaning in close " I was just a boy".

Remember that day? i doubt that you do
Your merciless sneer sharp across the morning dew
"Who then will stop me?" you cried in a rouse
designed specifically to give me a bruise
"No-one but I!" I roared in defiance
But you kicked then you spat and assured my compliance
With a foot at my throat enforced by your weight
I struggled as my pupils began to dilate
This moment is when i became filled with hate
And one that i have been pondering of late.

This incident is one of many that fueled my rage
my untapped rage restricted by age
You were bigger than me but you're not anymore
Killing is easy
It's the waiting thats the chore. [comments] => 1 [counter] => 219 [topic] => 6 [informant] => torn_thomas [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => AngryPoetry )

The Chore of Waiting

Killing is easy
It's the waiting thats the chore
Waiting for my target to come through the door
And flash the expression : confusion and fear
As i lunge and i cut and they bleed their red tears
"You shouldn't of done that" i whisper with joy
Then leaning in close " I was just a boy".

Remember that day? i doubt that you do
Your merciless sneer sharp across the morning dew
"Who then will stop me?" you cried in a rouse

But you kicked then you spat and assured my compliance
With a foot at my throat enforced by your weight
I struggled as my pupils began to dilate
This moment is when i became filled with hate
And one that i have been pondering of late.

This incident is one of many that fueled my rage
my untapped rage restricted by age
You were bigger than me but you're not anymore
Killing is easy
It's the waiting thats the chore.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
