the charger cord should have

fit into the small port,

but it didn't

and he made it fit

and he cost himself

a week's pay in the process

should've let his rationality

take over, should've let the

emotional whims pass

into the ether

but that didn't occur

and needless suffering occurred

and now let the unrealistic but

somewhat connectable tissue grow

outward and downward

if you lived in West Memphis

at anytime, you probably

believe the Satanic influence

was there

you probably thought that the

three defendants were members

of a witch's coven that

worshiped Lucifer nightly

and that coven decided

to sacrifice a young trio

to satisfy their deity's needs

and nobody, nobody ever

stopped to wonder why a

demigod or a god for

that matter, would need

a sacrifice?

and nobody on the inside

of the West Memphis limits

would stop and see how

ludicrous the entire

situation was?

one was posturing,

one was following,

one was borderline

not there mentally

but that didn't seem

to matter at all

a one-to-one correspondence

of sacrifices was needed to

quell the goddess of Justice,

three male teens for three

male children

the locals of West Memphis

must think Lucifer runs

the special effects department,

because even harmless immersion

in the occult does not hide

the last influence of the deceiver

and so three innocents waste

away for two decades, while

three smaller innocents

never receive the justice

they truly deserve

connecting a broken smart-phone

to a great injustice in

American legal history

rather belittling, isn't it?

yet, the thinking connecting

the events, that base, rash

jump to judgments without

letting time pass first,

human thinking is the

main component here

it's just a matter of scale,

and until humans evolve out of it,

expect it to be there

for the rest of our

collective existence

Belittling indeed...my evaluative instinct tells me this one is just fine, especially how you gradually broaden the scope from one man's irrationality to an all-out social commentary...I am guilty of forcing many square pegs into round holes over the course of my own irrational life...thought-provoking stuff as always, and well done as always.

[Kenneth The Poet]

I agree with you too. Thank you, KK.

You can do away with the evil doer but you cannot do away with the evil until its faced, owned and transcended. Brilliant write.

[Kenneth The Poet]

Thank you so much, Pryde!

Your artistic process is brilliant my friend and I like the way you share wisdom and wit! In few words you share so much light, such as feeling satanic influence in West Memphis...Bravo!

[Kenneth The Poet]

Thank you sir!
