Abandoning all life whoever enters this grave Buried in a domain of darkness Only lost entities dwell Death reeks all around... They feel their bodies are empty Filled with despair Obsessed with delusion An existence full of confusion Bland, polite, timid, and soft-spoken They let no one get close to them Remaining inanimate while self-defeated Protecting the risk of being deprived of love The void has been filled Replaced with sadness, anger, reality Standing amidst the insanity Marveling at the living hell around them The death sentence Death row... A place where death is welcomed Just to escape cries of the living dead ©1998 Nanon Williams Read more of Nanon's writing Read more about the Death Penalty and Prison Conditions Back To Poetry This page hosted by Geocities
