The Fury of Injustice

I will carry poetry from your death and realise once more the faith held in hope.
I will write soliloquies to behold what you once were and the joyous necessity that is your end.
I would tear the cooled coils of your innards into the air to spell out your sin.
Because your sin is the sin of many a man before and many a man since,
the misplaced ideal of your character,
rotted by the willingness of a single act too often repeated
upon the fresh and unsuspecting or those sadly mistaken to hope for better.
I would make a crown of your head and place it on a post before my soul as a warning hereafter.
Where many have wronged,
there falls a final sinner whose ego is no match for the furies long lain in wait within me since I was no more than a child.
Where many have wronged
you are the final attempt at the quivering wanton and feeble victory of  man and you will forever be a reminder of heir failure.

So long ago the seeds were sown that you are now merely a speck within a forest well fed and made wild by the misdeed of you and your unkind kind.
So I will lay you to rest with a guiltless smile and look forward to those of your kind who will follow you to the ground.

And they will follow.

Hey,

I’m Lola and I’ve been writing fiction since I learned to write and more recently some non-fiction pieces after enjoying the process of doing a dissertation; mainly minor political rants to purge some of the injustice rage and fact based poetry.

For the last five years I have been registered disabled after I was maimed during an operation and have been left housebound besides medical appointments so... I have a lot of time on my hands. This is a fact both helped and hindered by mental illness but I’m here, I’m hopeful and I haven’t started talking to the wallpaper yet.
