it's too late in his reign
for his matured palate
to grow a conscience
for the taste of
unnecessary death

I do agree with Narcissa, You shold poet more often. every time you do, such powerful works emerge from the ether... Though perhaps the time is what makes them so potent...hmm...

A former member wrote: I took "unnecessary death" as suicide, so ...no! car accident, cancer, etc are beyond our control, but putting a Luger in your mouth and painting the wall is a choice, perhaps i were off on the interpretation, but that's the thing i love about writing , I take from it what I want, enjoyed muchly:)
