Executed Warrior

Note: The word Idol is not misspelled







Dismembered

Gutted

Eviscerated

A life hanging upside down from meat hooks

Its majesty a puddle of wet entrails lying in a heap

Hungrily watched by jackals

Idol curiosity seekers

Waiting for the choicest cuts ready for roasting

On the spent coals of his beacon fire

A life’s great adventure parted out to the cowards that

Wait on the sidelines of life's battle

Safe from the carnage

Ready to scavenge his leavings

May this warrior’s soul find rest

even as his life is ridiculed in death

While his corpse feeds those who feared his strength
