The Horror Show.....A Dark Poem

Rating: 5.0


An electric chair and a dynamo,
This room so cold so full of woe.

They strap me in for this horror show,
These uniformed men my hateful foe.

A switch is flicked the current does flow,
Throughout my body and all aglow.

So many I've killed so many lives never let go,
So many buried under a cruel winter's snow.

So a painful death and one so slow,
A serial killer they once called John Doe.

Scary and clever; clever is always a bit more scary when mixed with scary but an interesting topic - and a sharp witted poem
