Samples

about an obsession with evidence as art.

 life as you know it slowly fading
as the corner is awfully waiting
drugs in your kidneys
with a life not worth living
a death wish definitely worth giving.
Not knowing someone is going to die
that’s something that I can’t deny
a bottle and a pack of cigs
the taste before the need of the fix
caressed by the wrong
an execution that takes long
but so hateful
feeling so painful
All these children are f*****g dead
no more guidance
just floors painted f*****g red
these samples are a simple piece
my sanity that will increase
the innocence we all had
just f*****g disappeared
My inspiration

This is a very dark and tragic poem, but I can read a lot between the lines. I assume by "corner" you mean death? But that it's supposed to be far off, and maybe the narrator feels guilty because they didn't know that "someone is going to die." There's a lot of ambiguity here, too. I can't tell if he's an officer on the case, or an innocent relative of the deceased. Also, "no more guidance," could that mean that the children will never grow up, or that there is little evidence to guide the narrator towards the killer? The last line is really powerful. Good piece!
