This is for reflection on the things we’ve done, and how we come to realize.
How easy it is to kill a man.
Now I could sit here for years
And years thinking the exact thing,
About what I had done
Cramped and cold, still
Feels the same as when
It happened, nothing more
And nothing less
Done in, skewered and locked
Into the system
Catalogued
For being “out of line”
I don’t know how
My wife feels.
I can’t really know how
My wife feels.
I don’t think I ever knew anything
About her
At all.
The grey walls, it’s a match,
Got my soul.
No matter, it’s all taking
A man’s life away.
I don’t know how
My wife feels.
The heat burns my eyes.
A finger of light
Is poking me,
Telling me to go see
Between the lines
You never understand
Until you see it
With your own eyes
Or can you?
I just see a pair of iron bars
That cut down
A growing tree
What a fitting way to nip
Your life in the bud
I don’t think I ever knew anything
About them
At all
How easy is it to kill a man?
