A Poem a Day (87): Blood Trial

Here’s a poem I wrote for JD Mader's 2minutesgo website. It’s a great place to go and write whatever is in your head, and read what others are writing in the group, and give/get feedback. It happens every weekend. Cheers.

Blood trial

Stone her.

Don’t bury the bones,

Leave them for the crows.

She said this,

But we don’t need to ask her.

She did this,

But we don’t need to ask her.

She thinks this,

But we don’t need to ask her.

She broke our rules,

Say the mob,

Prosecutor, judge and jury,

So we can break her.

We have the right,

And we don’t need a green light.

Trial by mob,

Make it look like a mugging.

Stone the leper.

Let’s televise,

Can we monetise it?

Don’t bury the bones,

Leave them for the crows.
