Mercy
Posted by Allan in Verse -- Fear on December 19, 2008 12:30 am
Silence is an unwritten psalm, a song of praise unsung,
It is an unspoken promise, an oath not made nor broken
thus kindly accept this humble token bowl of marinara –
Spare us from your wrath, I beg for mercy, giant squid.
The doom I wish upon the world can wait, for now I seek
a different fate than the countless others who are dead
rolled in crumbs of Italian bread. Lift thy curse
and let me live. I pray for mercy, giant squid.
The stars now afloat shall sink and the sky
shall be blackened by your ink as every living creature dies –
look kindly with your humongous eyes and call the slaughter off
and keep us safe instead. I beg for mercy, giant squid.
