A lone killer

Ted Michealson

He lies and lies,
He cries and cries,
He maims and kills,
He gets shivers and chills,

Yet after night’s rest,
All emotions are gone,
The cycle is repeated,
The bloodshed goes on,

He stabs and slashes,
He runs and dashes,
He judges and is judged,
All this from one empty and senseless monster.
