Shallow graves
of the victims
of the past
Haunt their tormentors
to the last
There's no escape
from the victims
of the past
Their coming for you
as you catch
your last breath
So tormentors beware
Just because
your victim is dead
It does not mean
they do not see
I love this write... Direct to the point, with an edge we should all be wary of... Thanks for sharing, .. Karen
There is a slant in your writing...in a warning voice..one can feel the intonation behind the graph... yes, it does not mean/they do not see...
victims of the past. are they really dead, or just asleep for awhile? somethting to think about. a good read
the whole poem is constantly shifting. like an unidentifiable voice hovering above the tormentor's head and aren't we all that tormentor? very good. dark warning and foreboding. -M
So tormentors beware/Just because their victim is dead Nothing can be truer...
Your poems are so deep and meaningful! It seems as if this poem is about a mans conscience catching up on him. Very powerful!
