4First, a heartfelt thank you to Luneko, my one faithful reviewer.
Kill Me Slowly
If you must kill me, then please,
do it slowly
that I might have the time to say goodbye
to the grasp of my mother's hand in mine
and the feeling of sun upon my face.
Please, give me time to hope,
to pray that I might live,
to rant and to rave about
the unfairness of it all.
Give me time to weep,
and finally, to find peace
in the darkness as it creeps.
Let me plead, first for my own sake,
and then for my mother's,
my fathers, my sister's, my brother's.
Please let me hold them one last time.
Just once will be enough;
it will have to be enough.
Make it easier on my family:
don't let it surprise them.
If they must hurt, at least
allow them to be prepared.
If you must kill me, good sir,
please, I only ask you this:
do it slowly.
I cannot read minds. Please, tell me your thoughts.
