Sacrificial Lamb

different but pretty good

The sound of my heart pumping furiously fills my ears.

 

The faces bend and blur together,

As my world spins before my eyes.

 

As the clock ticks closer to my death,

My trembling gets more aggressive.

 

They let me…they left me here alone

The emptiness wraps around me like a cocoon

I hear the sirens and adrenaline races through my veins

I run away from the screeching into the jungle of trees

 

The forest tries to hinder my efforts,

But just makes me run harder.

 

The pounding of my heart and my feet on the floor fills my head from silence.

 

As the trees thin out and the darkness slowly seeps away,

Those flashing lights appear right in front of me.

 

I skidded to a stop while breathing raggedly,

And they took me away.

 

All I did that night was stand watch for something the others did,

But while I guarded they killed.

 

At the first sound of my warning they ran,

To wash the evidence away.

 

But they won’t be able to wash my blood of their souls,

While I die for their initiation.

I don't understand why it's named Sacrificial Lamd, it's plain murder in my eyes. Anyway, this has a good and detailed plot development, although half of the poem, I wasn't quite sure what was happening. The ending sortof made it clear though. I especially like the second to the last line. The impact is there.

Keep Writing. ^___^

Wow, yes, it is different from the other poems you have written, and I like this one. Well thought out, the structure and the 'epic' ending. Well done.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

The build up got very suspenseful and the ending very intriguing... could be subliminal for the little man unwillingly sacrificing for the rich and powerful.
