The Righteous One Poem by C.R. Ebowski

There’s a smile lurking behind a mask
Of a man who used to be whole
But he hungers for acceptance
In a world formed by foreigners

He knows that his is different from the rest
Exceptional with proficiency in life
The others are blinded by their dysfunctions
Enthusiastic of a zombie’s society

But the fortunate ones that cross his path
Will truly understand is hypnotic desire
They will no longer be ignorant
To their impartial learned behaviors

Like the rest of his kind
He is mechanical and methodical
Searching for those most worthy
Of his unrelenting mercy

Walking along the robust street
Like the grim reaper’s ghost
He picks up the early edition of the news
As he reads the headlines, he maliciously smiles

SERIAL KILLER STRIKES AGAIN
THE CITY REMAINS IN FEAR
