THE CONDEMNED

THE CONDEMNED

A Poem by Akinlolu

Eventually, they cut him with a sword from Vulcan's forge.
Expelled him with a fury
that flowed like a volcanic surge.
Locked him up like a convict in a criminals' lodge.
They slammed him with the gavel of the most high judge.

Your poem is incredibly powerful and evocative. The way that you describe the violence and injustice that the subject of your poem experiences is both moving and disturbing. Your use of vivid imagery and metaphor is particularly effective, and it helps to create a sense of urgency and intensity in the reader. I think that your poem is a testament to the power of art to help us process our emotions and connect with others.

His treatment felt extreme and though not explicitly written, unfair.
The condemnation seemed full and final and he had no way of extricating himself from it.
Your words are profound and leave a powerful impact on the reader.

They could be words in a very gripping story and I'm an interested reader.

I enjoyed the read. You're most welcome.
and that is old time justice...

Maybe the justice system has just gotten too complex for its own good.
