The Judge

By ErickP | The Writings of Erick Pratt | 26 Feb 2021


I am the judge.
I control your life and I control your death.
I choose your destiny.
To all it will be known; you cannot escape my wrath.

There is no jury here,
And I guarantee your trial will be quick.
The sentence is always the same:
Put to death, simple and quick.

The jury has been dismissed;
Their trials soon follow yours.
The verdict is in:
Guilty, you, down on the floor.

Guards, take him to the yard
And let in the beast with him.
A fair trial? No!
For in Hell, fairness is but a whim.

Let the next trial begin,
And prepare the beast for its next meal!
Lead the defendants in,
Remind them there is no escape from this ordeal.

The trial is now over,
And it is time again for the beast to feed.
Go, now, to the yard.
All are guilty, it has been decreed.
