An open letter to tyrants..

by AsIf

I'd like to be the bullet
That scatters all your brains
I'd like to be the poison
That litters all your veins

I'd like to be the gallows
From which your body swung
I'd like to be the dagger
That penetrates your lung

I'd like to be the shrapnel
That brings your fatal gash
I'd like to be the fire
Reducing you to ash

I'd like to be the method
That gives what you are due
Because you are so wretched
And life's too good for you

2012 AsIf

I imagine this poem as a good hip-hop song, I hope you like hip-hop, if not my bad, but it has all a good poem should have, rhythm, rhyme, spontaneity, and a sense of dark humor. I really enjoyed reading it.

    Thank you zhaul. I am not a hip hop fan, but I think it would be possible to use rhythmic topical poetry in that genre of music.

Good rhyme, nice metric.
Determined introduction with single purposed ending.
So, what seems hate during introduction turns into love in the closing.

It shows clarity of thought on an attitude of Love: Caring.
