Cycle of Death
By SilentStalker
And now's the time I pay my due.
I mourn for what I put them through.
But I can't change what happened then;
I'm glad it won't occur
again.
The warden comes and grabs his key,
Unlocks
the cell, and beckons me.
We walk the halls, so dark and long.
I think of all I have done wrong.
Then suddenly I feel
my doom;
He leads me to a low-lit room.
He then shows me my
"new best friend";
I know that this will be the end.
He lets a laugh; I let a cry;
My memories start passing by.
My tears fall down and touch the floor,
But disappear as if no more.
They sit me down; they strap me in.
Their smiles turn into
evil grins.
I try to scream; they will not hear.
They know
my pain; they feel my fear.
With glee he pulls the heavy
switch.
My toes, they curl; my muscles twitch.
I feel tremendous
energy,
Of condemnation pass through me.
My hair burns
black; my eyes bleed red.
The veins are bursting in my head.
I scream, and plead, and shake, and cry;
And in great pain, too
late I die.
They switch it off; the unit cools.
They
think their job is done, the fools.
But in this world, this time
and space,
Someone will always take my place.

Ooh...I like this one. Especially the ending. So very true. For every evil person that's dies, a new one takes his place...
