From the voice of a criminal by James Yow

You cannot think,

You are separate,

No one is on your side

Who cares about you?

Why should you care about others?

You don't,

They don't,

I take out my tool,

Like a guilty craftsman,

I do only what my mind tells me,

Not what feels right?

I listen to the orders like a dedicated soldier.

It's ready,

The pitch black darkness that fills my world,

Will brighten.

I let go,

Launching my tool through a welcome opportunity,

For once I won't end up the loser,

I won't be hurt, not me.

The building erupts,

Like a raging lion.

Its over.

The crimson, maroon glory,

Danced in front of me.

As I walk off into the distance, my short lived

ecstasy has faded.

I've lost.
