Consequence

I was watching a crime show and I began to think, what if the crime committed was an accident? The only reason to punish them would be out of malice for them, or something else.

Darkness has taken 

over the day.

I am so tired yet here

I lay.

Listening to and cherishing 

all the night things come alive with 

the sinking of the sun.

For them it is like 

the day has just begun.

In the distance I hear a 

lone wolf's lonesome cry.

He howled as the

moon was the unreachable apple of

his eye.

Still, I lay here wide awake.

I roll to my side and 

begin to quake

My worry I cannot hide

It was an accident, yet they

would not let him slide.

I can hear the crickets 

chirping, and the bull frogs bellowing.

Now I roll to my back, trying

to think of how I got so off-track

I heard the owls 

reverberating question.

Then his screech before he

flies to his new destination.

How did I end up in this 

place?

Frustration crept into my

mind, so I rise and begin to pace.

I look out of my small

window my hear fills with sorrow.

Then the sun rose to bring

about the dawn.

I came to a great realization

I will never again be a part of 

civilization.

I then heard the keys in 

the door, my legs buckle and I hit

the floor.

The guard says:

Stand up, son. It's time.

I will soon pay for my

accidental crime.

Suddenly the sky

clouded over, and it began to pour

There I stood, bleakly

staring at the door.

The door swung open I

held my head high to walk the 

distance to my extinction.

Even though it is pouring 

many people waited to see my awesome

extermination.

As I knelt and lowered

my head to the block, I heard the 

ticking of the clock.

I was tortured by 

each tick.

I knew what was to

happen on the sixth tick.

On the fifth tick, I looked 

up to see a pair of crystal blue, cruel

eyes. 

She said, "Now your 

head's gonna roll." to my surprise.
