A poem for Halloween.

Rancorous Thoughts


By Scott D. Zachary


Duct tape, shackles, and chains—
Enable infliction of absolute pains.
Needles and pins appropriately prod—
To heighten quarry’s pleas to her god.

"An eye for an eye," said I;
"Eyeballs that know not how to cry."
Plucked from a rotten head,
I’ll gladly stomp them, instead.

Honey draws insects to feed—
On the one I wish to bleed.
Her fright will calm my desire,
Just before I set her on fire.

Cuffed to the bottom rung of a ladder—
In a swimming pool . . . empties her bladder.
And when there’s only a flicker of life in store . . .
Thank God, I don’t think like that anymore.

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
