Do it Quickly

Inspired by the Taliban and their love for women!!!!!!

 

Do it quick and easy, her eyes pleaded as she knelt in front of him,

his sword above her head, poised and ready.

Do it quick and easy so that I do not have to feel the pain of your fear and anger as the sword’s blade cuts through my weakened flesh.

Do it quick and easy, so that my mind is freed of all your dogma and corrupted beliefs.

So that I can be free of this world and its poisons, its hatred and joylessness.

Do it quick and easy, so that I may experience love again, in some other world, far away from here.

Only one cut, one slashing pain and I will be free.

You think you are hurting me?

No, you are hurting yourself.

Trying to protect yourself from what you have been taught to fear.

Your sensitivity, your love, your heart fullness.

What is there to fear in love that you have to destroy it?

Answer me that.

Then make it quick and easy so that I too may know.

DAMN! This was intense. What a way to show the brutality of that type of belief system (not only the Taliban by the way) without being brutal yourself. This was an incredible write. I'm glad I stopped to read this. Going in my favorites. One line to fix though:

"Do it quick and easy so that I do not have the feel the pain of your fear and anger as the sword's blade cuts through my weakened flesh." - the first "the" should be a "to".

Bravo on this and an standing O!

oh, wow! I can see her, dark eyes bent on a higher purpose ready to leave this world for a better one.

Extremely powerful write. Deep emotions and a view that is fresh and unique. To hide emotions because they were taught to.

Very well written and great insight.

Thanks for entering my contest and the best of luck.

ah yes. I've said many times pain only hurts once, but the freedom that follows is immense. You've illustrated this beautifully!

bravo, indeed. humans can be so cruel to one another. i don't see how someone could murder someone on the basis of race, skin, or gender. thank you for using beautiful words to explore the horror of those actions.
