Rule of the blade
In the neon dressed city street
a hooded youth
yards away from where the knife
that had penetrated his chest
tries to stand
in his blood stained logo emblazoned attire
with fear filled eyes
he stands again momentarily before falling once more
his panicking voice adds its frightfulness
to the horror and fatally wasteful scene
O! young man!
you have no guardian Angel
to come to your last minutes of life rescue
no playback to an hour ago
when you were laughing and enjoying your night out
bystanders will come, some ghoulishly interested
with their flashing phone cams
but none will be Smart enough
to capture He who is coming to collect your soul.
