The Long Arm, The Road (Two in a Row)

By Vincent Van Zandvoort | Poetry / Prose | 12 Mar 2022

The Long Arm

Victim,
culprit,
justice,
law;
these are concepts
that only make sense
to a vengeful
and unforgiving mind.
When you close your eyes
to the brightest light we have,
all you'll see
is your own blood
rushing through your eyelids.

The Road

The road to tyranny is straight,
but long.
It's easy to follow,
but you can't see the end,
and you won't make it back alone.
