Third showing

Third showing

A Poem by Canicus

There is one more show

it might be the last

so if you're ready

we'll have a blast

we'll make it slow and painful

never go too fast

direct your attention to the stage

as the light comes on at last

hope has been lost

never to be found

to this misery

he is bound

killing him slowly

no helping hand around

hanging above a tank

we lower him down, drowned

in his pain

never to be pulled back up

that will be his grave

nothing left of him

nothing left to save

he's gone now

watch as he will wave

Very nice. "we'll make it slow and painful

never go too fast

direct your attention to the stage

as the light comes on at last"

My favorite part.
