No Mercy on Mean Street

No Mercy on Mean Street

 

If you let me live

you

can have my wife

and

take the money ..

I am

sure that’s what

he said

as the cable ties

were

each applied to

both

bruised hands

and

bleeding feet ..

But

then, at the end

of yet

another long day ..

Does it

matter now, at all ..

Maybe

they did not hear

his plea’s ..

Or misheard and

simply

didn’t care that

much ..

But now though

friends,

it seems ironic and

absurd ..

They took them both

then 

killed him anyway ..

They had already made their minds up so no plea bargaining on his part would make a difference. War is abhorrent. This is what you get. Not just in war though, you get this elsewhere too. This is where I hope there will be some retribution either on earth or elsewhere for those who take a life needlessly. Citizens get caught up in warfare all too often. Strong piece Neville, We live in a merciless world much of the time.

it would be both foolish and otherwise grossly irresponsible for anyone, anywhere regardless of what side of the fence they might prefer to stand, to disagree with a single word you have left here today Chris and for which I am grateful .. Neville

An ode to a coward...lol. Giving your wife away is never going to end well, even if they let you go. This going into your gangland files isn't it. You're a rough customer Neville. A rough customer with an incredible pen.

Good to hear from you Crowley .. and thanks a million sir ... I'm a pussycat really with a worn out nib :)
Write on my friend and stay well .......... Neville

No amount of compromise could change an already made up mind. It's cruel when you think you are being given a choice only to find out you didn't have one to begin with. A sad truth, there is no mercy on mean street. Thanks for sharing Neville!

[Neville]

You have a keen eye Aura and a lovely way with words .. thank you .. Neville :)

[Aura]

The pleasure is all mine!

This time round the full impact hit the heart. The cruelty of our species has no upper limit and that is terrifying. Great work Neville.
