When God Doesn't Answer: a short poem
Art & Poetry by Brian Loewer
A short poem
Cold steel and death
shoved against her flesh.
Dark devoured her screams,
as she pleaded with each breath.
Letting out 'No's!' and elbows,
she threw them from her back
with the fury of God!
She fought against the act,
but with wrists and movement
fastened in his grip,
she had not a chance
to grab the secret on her hip.
So she flailed,
face pale in despair.
Scratching concrete
with nobody there.
His glares of pure evil
slammed against her eyes
and with one last gasp
she tried...
to reach her piece,
remembering the words
the pastor preached,
"Thou shall not kill."
Thou kill she must.
Concealed carry,
she felt it,
a trigger's touch.
So, she prayed again,
but God had no reply.
With her hand full of led,
she shot the devil till he died.
