BUTCHER’S KNIFE

Stainless steel I once was !

Alas!

Shaped by fate

Sharpened by circumstance

Now!

Stained with  blood

Rusting with guilt

Waiting to be thrown away

The miserable butchers knife !  

SHOOT ME !

Gag me! Kill me!

I am the blasphemous heretic!

Its my turn today!

Shoot me !

Shoot me as you shot them all

Shoot me !

Even as  I utter  these words

Shoot me ! 

Shoot me point blank!

Let my skull explode

Let my brains splatter

Let my curdled blood flow

The heretic still says! 

Listen you fools!

The last drop of blood  will drain from my carcass !  

But Love eternal; shall   forever  flow !
