Simple Question For Friend Thad Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg

Simple question

You do not see me follow you.
But I assure you that I do
I need to know you live alone
and if you have a mobile phone.

I’ve checked your home security
and am sure it will not bother me.
When I decide the time is right
to visit you one stormy night.

For months I’ve had you in my view
anticipating what you’ll do.
Will give in without a fight
or bite and kick to my delight.

I shall enjoy subduing you
then doing what I came to do.
No one to heed your frantic screams
as I act out my twisted dreams.

Because I mean to ravage you,
make your worst nightmares come true
A little rape and sodomy
will be the preliminary.

Before I start to torture you
in every way a man can do.
I do enjoy inflicting pain
Although I’m sure I’m not insane

I’m just a sadist through and through
Though I am skilled at what I do.
I take my pleasures seriously
I can prolong you agony.

Or maybe grant you swift release
so from the pain you find surcease.
I am appalled at what I‘ve done
each time I find it much less fun.

And swear henceforward I’ll abstain
These wicked urges I’ll resist.
I will not rape and kill again.
Alas my demons will insist.

I know one day I will be caught
confess my crimes quite openly.
Be found not guilty by the court
by reasons of insanity.

They’ll keep me safely locked away
in some secure establishment
until I’m old and bent and grey.
For safety not for punishment.

I’ll live my life at states expense
in comfort if not luxury.
Which does not make a lot of sense
When it’s looked at financially.

A killer dog would be destroyed.
A danger to the community
Why can’t the same laws be employed
for men who act inhumanly?
