Serial Murder

by The Pessimistic Peabody   May 13, 2007


Murder...
is not just physical
Emotional murder
just as bad
Apathetic existence
just as sad
Alive....
breathing and moving too
Fatally wounded
cannot cope
Unresponsive to life
lost all hope
Eyes....
gazing without purpose
Mistaken for placidity
there is no peace
Heart beats out of habit
waiting to cease

Forever a lifeless shell
even as time continues
Another victim to a new breed of serial killer

Made for all those who are dead inside-

    A common topic, but an original approach! I think this was written very cleverly. The rhythm was strange and musical -- overall a very good piece.

    Take Care,

    I had to read it twice to fully understand it. There is so much in just one little poem. It seems to me like you put a lot of effort into this???? I really like it. Great job! 5/5
