A masterstroke, Chinedu! You have brilliantly and vividly painted a dark soul...an evil that must be given a capital punishment...a death penalty. Another timeless poem.

Explicit poetic narration of a criminal mind, well done👍

Thwala deserves far stronger punishment.

A very moving write, thanks for sharing.Twala was guilty of 16 murders and 10 rapes, but only 506 years of imprisonment.506 numbers of death

Great poetry has an everlasting effect. The first time I have read this poem, the words embedded, linger in the mind and heart.I have read this poem several times and the strong emotion of hate still persists against this criminal. You have a powerful pen, Chinedu!

With promise of job, he lured her into a cane field, , nice one bro 🙏❣️

Have you ever seen the film "A Time To Kill"?

Part 2. It is often argued that in a civilised society, there is no place for ‘capital punishment'. But such heinous crimes need to be dealt with an electric chair. Or by decapitation, as prevalent in the countries of Arabian Gulf. Nothing less.

Hi Poet, your words transported me right into the crime scene, as if the horrendous crime enacted right before my eyes. It is a pity that he was exonerated of his first crime. This failure of justice would have encouraged him to get himself entangled in more horrendous deeds.

Bro, u are an artist_ this lovely, it's feels like as though i was staring into the rapist eyes, really lovely men. Tbe inspiration is even more grounded. Please consider reading a few of my poems as well, notably 'Let's Grow Up Together'

A poem of great substance on social issue! You have brilliantly revealed a case..Bravo Chinedu! !

I have read this poem several times yet still the emotion that it creates is as gripping as the first one. Great poetic creation, a poetic gem.

Powerfully, masterfully and brilliantly crafted poem. An excellent depiction of a heinous crime.

A brilliant poem about crime, sexual abuse and torture. The portrayal of the character is just a sample of the cases happening around the world unnoticed! Brilliant! !

This reminds me of the Poem 'Man In Soup'. Thanks for writing this.

Thank you Chinedu Dike for introducing this horrible man and his heinous crime. You have actually given sufficient details to identify the savage

It described the true face of, What I heard is 's deception that pretends to be something else, the big lie. Thank you for truth.

This was a bit more good than awesome. Comprised of perfect vocabulary. I can say this poem is a piece of perfection. That was really awesome. But the story was sad, perhaps fixed for this poem.

Wow, a very strong and powerful story / poem. I felt very sad reading this, it seemed so real. You certainly know how to write to get a feeling of reality.
