....Your Soul..... Poem by RIC BASTASA

before i leave
let me say it.

you are a liar.
a profiteer.

you deceive people
even those lowly ones

you deprive a client
of his landholding

protector you are not
never was it

it is all about your
having money

you have never served
at all

you have all the reasons
marks of your eloquence

money spent for your
education was wasted

you are never an ideal
you are a curse of

mankind, all mankind
wish for your perdition

when you die all those
monsters will take a bite

of your flesh and take
finally with them your only

soul. And the you have
nothing. Nothing. Nothing.

your eyes will be
taken from your sockets

your bones will be
chopped into tiny pieces

your mouth will be
burned

your ears sliced into
bits

and all these will never
be enough

to pay for your cruelty and
deceptions....
