No! <br />Help! <br />The prisoner yells <br />as he's dragged down the long hallway <br />to his death. <br /> <br />The king laughs manically <br />as the screams of terror <br />caress his ears. <br /> <br />The widow weeps <br />as the knights viciously attack <br />her and her family. <br />Stripping away her dignity <br />the same way they strip away her clothes. <br /> <br />The children cry out <br />as they're older brother falls, <br />giving his life to save theirs. <br /> <br />Vicious lies tell the truth <br />and <br />death is more merciful than life.<br /><br />Death's Shadow<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/death-is-more-merciful-than-life/
