BTK's high has come <br />And without assistance from a hangman's noose, <br />A quiet devil among us he proves <br />The power of addiction to notoriety <br />This yeast that blew the beast beyond proportion. <br /> <br />He might have choosen the brighter angel's path <br />That leads to media annonymity <br />If just one or two had dared to trespass <br />Against his forced march to hell. <br /> <br /> <br />EXPLICATION: <br />(Prompted by the national news in the United States of a serial killer's ten consecutive life sentence. BTK stands for bind, torture, kill by which he promoted himself to the media.)<br /><br />Bill Grace<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/btk-s-high-has-come-7/
