DEADLINE

Take these words
And shove them
Down your gut.

This very bit
Of trash will
One day overflow.

For you repay kindness
With hurt and love
With severe hostility.

Pleasures from peace
Was his mandate
Towards your soul.

His hands were
Always full of
Grace and generosity.

But all you saw
Were flaws within
Your hideous cracks.

Potion of trash
Filled with all
Aberrations to humanity.

Your life, your rules.
His life, his choices.
“This is the deadline”, he said.
