    The wind was blowing
and the blood was flowing,
Not the blood of a lion or wolf
but the blood of an animal,
A true beast.

He had no name.
He was no longer worthy of one,
he had murdered and raped
more than once.
He had murdered the hope
he had once given
and raped himself of any truth.

He was a generous man
handing out misery to many
ask him for a hand and he'd give you twenty.

He lacked the knowledge,
to stop his hate.
The hate that had killed
and would kill again.
It would stop at noone,
until he was gone,
then it would all be over...
Until the next time.


* * * * * * *

The rain kept on pouring
It never stopped.
Didn't hold a thought,
for those who could not shelter,
from its chilling drops.
Everywhere was cold and wet,
only the people who had homes
would be dry that winter.
Only those who dined out,
who drank expensive wines,
only those who would die
Expensive deaths!


sachmet, 1997
