The Hangman

  The Hangman 

 

By Amy Luz U.Catalan

 

Violence erupts like misdirected bullets targetting

Even the innocent and the imagined perps, 

Ruled by a persona with a bastardized mind that even the 

Demon inside him cowers and recoils. 

Unlawfully inhuman to deep-six his enemies, 

Guilty lackeys divert the notoriety 

Or sneak around the ground like rats scurrying to hide in the dark. 

 

Dead are the thousands: guilty or sinless?

Even his executioners are unsure, yet they kill like mindless guard dogs!

 

Freakishly strong and iron-willed he fabricates himself to be;

In a land where both the impoverished and the schooled act as his

Lapdogs, the lot as virulent as the pandemic that ravages and 

Insidiously contaminates the vulnerable, moreso the 

Puppets that willingly deliver the soul of the nation 

In a silver casket of rotting dreams and hopes; the wise, left with 

No choice, cornered by false promises

Are now restive, their spirits want to resist the lunacy 

Since this lyncher has been foolishly enthroned.
