To Kill A...

AuburnScribbler

For good old Harper Lee, a mockingbird would do,

but as I look around, there’s so much more to choose,

my black book list of ending, has ink to act as blood,

to fill in certain gaps, of designs; that never would,

 

to tolerate the hate, that they indeed provide,

will never be a crime, as it’s a matter of pride,

old habits make the bedrocks, of all that is known,

creating their birth exits, such decaying that has grown,

 

thus, a lust for cleaning wakes, to return to the pure,

let justice be in murder, as removing is the cure,

so proud; these talking monkeys, the keys that are bereft,

time to pick clear targets, that they should now forget,

 

upon my docket; hoods, that were bundles of joy,

who, on the street; choose; to steal from those employed,

though they call me: "monster", with their normal law,

as I blade those teens, to spill them on the floor,

 

then the heirs of Big Brother, I now attend to,

gods of their content, who edit through and through,

I will cancel them, erasing censorship,

again, I am demonised, by their membership,  

 

I make more bullet points, to riddle them with holes,

those behind the desks, who have sold all their souls,

Westminster, will blister, giving space to cope,

but their familiarities, gives my neck the rope,

 

as a reaper’s clearly chosen, by popular opinion,

the mob can’t allow, a single thought decision,

to pour gasoline, on an already blazing fire,

seems to be the good deed, the stalwart of desire,

 

can you clearly see, why my book is so thick?

My need to break the clock, that makes all of them tick,

but my file of such defiling, gathers dust on the shelf,

as I believe; when I kill you, I will kill myself!

  • Comment from author about the poem: We have our lists, and our own room 101s (my fusion poem in the past, did not go well bless it, anyway...) the "little black book" adopted by a group of misguided military hustlers called, the Nazis, was indeed a catastrophic tool, especially when things on the list actually got "crossed off!" I bring this up friends, as with all the calamities that are happening in the world at the moment, let's just say, that if you don't think a proverbial catalog marked "things that should go" doesn't exist, then either, you are naively pious, and blindly trust a "cosmic plan" or, maybe, just maybe, you're choosing not to pay attention. With this in mind, I give you this poem, written in the guise of a "reaper wannabe", who in the end, realises the sordid point, of why his deathly enterprise is a lost cause. I suppose the only way, in which certain hurtful things can be "killed off", is for humanity to have a good spring clean in the way it operates, as the way we operate; in general at the moment, leaves a lot to be desired, and is the reason why certain "proverbial lists", will continue to be written in mind. I hope that you enjoy the poem, and as always, please do stay everyone.

    Fine words Ben, but I do wish that little black book could be pink and full of love for all.

      Thanks for the read Andy, and yes, I also agree, there are too many little black books out there, and your idea of a pink one, full of love, is a heartwarming image indeed.

      I hope that all is well.
