I knew the man

I knew the man

A Poem by Soren

Tied, beaten, burned alive, you can kill the man but feelings still survive
Pummeled, broken, bound with wire left inside a car set afire
Numbed, shocked mind locked, brain struck, what the f**k 
All that was left bones and teeth closed casket with a black wreath
Ashes of memories stuffed in a box, only skull no more curly locks
Three confess under duress thirty years maybe less for their excess
And I sit and think how the smell of burning flesh does stink

Hard hitting rough justice. I guess that is what happens when law and order breaks down. Confessions under duress. Stinks to high heaven, we seem to be seeing a lot of this in the current climate. You do the crime then you pay and deserve the price for it. That’s my justice. Dreadful way to die. Sends shivers up my spine Soren. Knowing the man, that must make it all even more distressing.
