Demon's Whisper

I watch him raise his hand

Break his bones…

But he doesn’t hit her

He screams at his kids

Calls them worthless

Tear out his intestines

And strangle him with ‘em

Next day I see his daughter

Bruise on her face

Rip out his teeth!

The girl begs me

“Don’t get involved”

The Demon’s Whisper

Fades to nothing

We go to her house

He is there

Screams and yells

10 year old son

Being called a mistake

I do nothing

Let me show him

What a mistake is

Bottle of Jack

Shatters on the floor

He raises his hand again

Let me break him…

Maybe just an arm

Or perhaps a leg

Just one

I stand firm

But the sound

Of the man’s hand

Hitting her face

Shatters my control

Sweet Freedom!

The man will never

Hit his children again

Never abuse his wife

Neither will he call them

Worthless, pitiful, mistakes

Ever again

Neither will he ever

Walk again.

Should have let me

Kill the S.O.B.
