The Last Word Poem by Marco Antonio Solano

freed by fraud from my solicitation
you claim I'm the source of consternation
and so elude responsibility
by staining me with culpability

ears that hear lies, for their eyes cannot see
the dark hand that did injustice to me
though in time an advocate I will find
no respite until I reach peace of mind

and my quest shall be the vengeance for truth
with words the world will know, and my soul soothe
for my absolved name will live throughout time
if yours beside, only because of mine

for it's not a matter of how, just when
I shall stab and kill thee with my sage pen


Marco '95
