Pursuit [Classic] (30 line poem)

To round things out, since today is (apparently) ‘Demon Day’, here is another terrible but silly old poem about death and hell.


They stole my heart
They took my brain
They threw my body off the train
Yet magic made me whole again
But now I’ve witnessed death

I stalk them now
I roam the night
My body whole, my mind not right
I see ahead a distant light
And draw a rasping breath

I shuffle nearer
To the place
A look of menace on my face
My anxious steps become a race
I open up the door

I step inside
They scream, “Surprise!”
And poke their fingers in my eyes
But I choke each one till he dies
Then throw him on the floor

The episode
Has just begun
Now it’s time to have some fun
I look around and find a gun
And blow my face away

Falling, falling
Down a well
We land amid the fires of Hell
I grin a grin so they can tell
That now it’s time to play
