Around the time of 9-11 (yes, 2001), I had been angry for a lot of things and this piece came together. If you see a pattern in my poetry, I do a lot of free style poetry.
Justice is Calling
Poem written by Nile Flores in 2001
Do you see me?
I definitely see you
and what I see is appalling
With shrunken heads strung along your neck
One for every person you’ve killed
It’s amazing that the weight of it
– hasn’t either strangled you or caught you off balance
Blood drips from the corners of your mouth
as evil gleams a bright demonic orange in your eyes
You grin
-thinking you have won
and yet
-the dead tug at you and you certainly feel it in your bones
You choose to try to ignore the tugging fiercely
You feel you’re above it all
t4rying to lay silence over the voices trying to cloud your evil mind
Justice is running after you
She’s running blindly while waving a sword
Truth is guiding her like a seventh sense
– and she will find you in a time that catches you off guard
You are murder
You are arsen
You are sin
You are evil
And though your sings pile to the heavens
As you endeavor to create more bloodshed
– soon that pile will stop growing
for Justice will catch you
Your punishment will definitely be swift and painful
