R&R : Embrace This World
By Sean Mc Shane
They met in a psyche ward, so the authorities say,
Sold their souls
that night and escaped the next day . . .
Taken by their demons
They made their own Hell
Turned it loose on this world
as the
Angels do tell
Fueled by dark Soul-Mate lust
They perfected
their hate
knowing who and what they are
they embrace their fate
Burnin' down Main Street America
while the 'norms' all sleep
In and out of various lives
the Roadkillers creep
On
endless nightmare highways
with guns on the dash
The pipe's
too hot to hold
while counting blood stained cash
Crosses
hang from their necks
a Bible in the backseat
under some dead
girl
They napped off your street
Adding souls to their
collection
searching for a suicide haven
The Death Ballad plays
on
for Ragman & Raven . . .

Sounds like an updated Bonnie and Clyde perhaps, or maybe Natural Born Killers by Quentin Tarantino? Anyway enjoyed the read and I'll try not to hitch-hike on your hunting grounds, cheers!

Thanks. And don't worry about hitch-hikin'. R&R don't pick up hitch-hikers . . . it's too dangerous.

I enjoyed this. Particularly the part about dark Soul Mate lust. I've experienced this many times. Not the killing obviously, but the feeling behind it. Well written. Thank you for sharing.

Glad you enjoyed it. And thanks for not telling me I spelled soul mate wrong. Some people just don't get it. I'm glad you did. Thanks again.
