Rob Schackne #461 - One Bad Man (redux)



One Bad Man

             (after a photo by Jack Picone)

A body stinks a cycle of change
after which it quickly goes to hell
the victims stay keening to the side

one Bad Man swims to its next life
a giant sardine thrown in with the dirt
warlord rapist murderer pimp

spitting of course derides the horror
there is chanting and there is silence
there are drums to alert the spirits


some hope their tears aren't wasted
but wonder why it earned a plot
in this earth caused so much pain


the shame it wasn't sooner stopped
sorrow they couldn't punish it enough
what it did and what it may do again 

the people throw rubbish and piss
all the shit they no longer want
into the empty hole
