Horrid Passions

Before you sits a monster, in a chair. It looks at you from across the table with beady, piercing eyes. It feels no remorse, no consequence. Your anger at the pain of the victims… There will be no closure. As if screaming into a brick wall. Enjoy the poem, friends.

Final Interrogation

Hardened hides,

cleft in two,

shorn apart

by sharpened knives

that perform their duties

with devastating precision.

Weapons,

not tools.

We both know the purpose

was never

for rope and fish,

but men and dogs,

carefully dissected.

You monster.

They had families!

Those poor little men

and their poor little puppies…

You’ll hang for this.

You’ll burn for this.

Won’t be long now

before the jury comes up guilty

and you are sent away

to be eaten by worms.

“Worms,” oozes and bubbles out from between the monster’s lips.
