Could Bear To Look! Poem by Eric Cockrell

Could Bear To Look!

Rating: 3.5


broke down,
system.
faces peeled,
razor knives.
hands cut off,
feet bloodied.
mouths open,
gulping air.
eyes plucked out
by the lies.
souls bartered
for a cup of rice.
flags burning,
bodies strewn.
the well oiled wheel,
turns in spite.
no god,
could bear to look!

a really cool write. the last two lines are very chilling and leave an impact to remember, but that's what your aiming for. Nice work!
