Please lock him up and show him pain…

Did someone sprinkle you with Devil Dust
You really are not kind
Your words are full of emptiness
your eyes with flaming fire.
The things you did are inhumane
And justice will be done
“Please lock him up and show him pain”
The jury will decide.
Please learn from this and take advise
Rethink your nasty ways
The sentence given was for life
Be prepared for darkened days….

    Hi, pablina, how are you?
    This is an interesting and up-front form of ballad stanza: 3 strung together. I like the fact it deals with justice in an appropriate way.
    I would almost call it a poem, except for the offset first and last line, and the odd rhyme scheme. That makes it more of a free form than a poem. Other than that, really good job. I like the idea of using traditional form in fresh ways. Thanks for sharing.
    By the way,… ‘advise’ is the verb, ‘advice’ the noun. And, to bring the focus back in on the verb prepare, get rid of the Be and just use the verb prepare.

    It’s good – has a kind of witchy feel.

    Punishment for the wicked eh? I wish we can see it happening a lot though. But they tend to be popular and rich nowadays!

    The wicked must be dealt with accordingly.
