Lamb to the Slaughter

Artwork: The Island - Thylacine - Walton Ford, date unknown

my hands
are tied;
am bound
in chains

dragged
to parts
unknown
like a
lamb
to the
slaughter

my spirit
broken,
my heart
in shreds;

nothing
to live
for,
nothing
to die
for.

nothing
is left
for me.

muzzled,
silenced,
beaten,
hated,
spat upon
with savage
vituperation
from all
sides -
reviled
by all
who know -
or knew -
me best.

maybe
in death
i will
find
peace.
