Rest in Peace

Resting in peace,
Is it even possible?
This simple request,
Seems quite reasonable.

After living a life,
Of lies and deceit,
Drowning young souls,
Destroying their dreams.

Basking in the light,
Of darkened halls,
Drinking the blood,
Of innocent ones.

Yet plead for mercy,
From Death's cold hand,
As time draws nigh,
To leave this broken land.

That is the way of it, the most guilty expect the most mercy. Good write, has power, provokes thought.
