Death of a friend – Life always comes to an end.

Image via Wikipedia

Frosty pale skin

Bones exposed

in a drawer at the morgue

Sickened terror to envision

the slaughter of my dearly departed

Friends from the first grade

A doll ready for the grave

Body raped and beaten identity

from a tooth

Can I wait for karma to produce

the rage I can display?

Please god let me become a plague

The fear from their eyes when I rip out

all their organs!

I’m really not a violent person

I’m begging for a justice system that wont ignore

the screams from all the victims.

    It seems as if justice moves slow when it wants to.I just recently lost a longterm friend and am still missing him.A great poem with plenty of emotion.

    It is always our first reaction, but you are right…they should pay for their crimes

    The system here in the great US of A is broken and no lawyer will ever fix it. A system built on it’s on language one that can’t be understood by common people that are being spoken to. A victim of rape is first accused of being promiscuous and her life exposed before the rapist is found guilty. Good poem I hope you get all that u seek.

    Very powerful and passionate. Justice does usually come to those who deserve it in the end, but it rarely comes timely and normally is doled out through a lifetime of karma rather than an immediate resolution.

    Great work here :)
