Thoughts of People Insane: The Angel of Death

The thoughts of Charles Edmund Cullen A.K.A. The Angel of Death.

I am here for greater things.

Only I can end suffering.

Hospital to hospital my shadow grows

Reaping lives, nobody knows.

My wings spread out wide.

Shhhhh... 

Do not cry.

Look them in the eyes, 

Let them know it is alright.

I wipe tears from their faces

I'm only bringing death's graces.

Hand around neck squeeze and choke.

Mouth forced open shove pills down throat.

Kicking, flailing, fighting for life,

I wish you understood I am ending strife.

A sound beneath, a sickening shudder,

Heart had popped under fleshy cover.

Letting go of his neck,

Start looking for who to save next.

I must end all suffering until none is left.

That is my job as Angel of Death.

Cullen an angel in any way or of anything ...no. I don't feel this as a dark or personal motivational work - our own darknesses beg understanding and ...living... with. It came across as a trite and simplistic Hollywood or video game typecast froufrou of another Freddy Krueger sequel. There was NO shock value either, just a head shaking sadness.

The point of these writings is not to shock the reader because we already know what happened to Cullen. His nickname was the Angel of Death. it is not a holy title in my opinion. The writing is trying to place you into the mind set and justifications of what the killer thought nothing more.

Sometimes "points of intent" are murky in another's eyes. The media defined and assigned him a sensational "nickname" as a way of attracting readers. Does anyone REALLY know what another thinks as a person performs their actions - if they are thinking at all? I believe we assign our own views as to another's justifications. For me this depiction came across as I described. So I agree to disagree - on this piece - NOT the choice of theme, just the manner of depiction.

Part two of the INSANE and PSYCHOPATHIC PEOPLE. Great poem.

[The Seeker of Thoughts]

Thank you I am glad you enjoyed it friend.

[Gee]

Had to look him up, film director. Don't really know what to make of this to be honest.!

[The Seeker of Thoughts]

First thing. Did you look him up and find him as a film director? Second, I have found this is how I am most comfortable writing. I want the reader to feel uncomfortable, shocked, or afraid. If you have anything to say about that I would love to hear. Thank you for reading.

Hi, being 55 years old very little frightens orshocks me, if anything at all. You have written about death, murder, which is an everyday item in most newspapers, magazines , or so it seems.
What the Germans did to the Jews shocks me, genocide in general shocks me. That man can be so inhumane towards fellow man on such a large scale is truly shocking.

[The Seeker of Thoughts]

Well that would be expected knowing you have seen a lot in your life. Thank you for the ideas though.
Also why did you mention a film director?
