He had it coming

He had it coming

 

 

What can you ask for?

 

Him?

Ya he did,

and the shotgun gave the only answer.

 

He had it coming,

why couldn’t he be honest…

eyes slide back.

 

Oh the milk man did it!!!

 

He had it coming,

why did he do it?

 

And the book was open,

with her blood on it.

 

Oh the blood,

why was it all over…

she stood in the shadows with a smile.

 

He had it coming,

he had only one time to admit to his crime,

but no…

he didn’t.

 

So he had it coming,

why couldn’t he admit it.

 

So now he had it coming.

 

All I’ve done for him…

damit why did my cut open up?

 

He was the one who was wrong…

but when he was shot,

she cut herself.

 

Now she is prison for murder.

but no…
he didn’t....probably the most haunting part for me...this reminded me of that expression 'some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them'...lots of room for interpretation in this one as I ponder the possible circumstances...shades of Edgar Allen...nicely done ron...powerful and ominous.

Thank you kublakhan.
I had fun writing this one...I wanted to bring in the shotgun...but I couldn't figure how to work it in ;)

[kublakhan27]

Haha I saw this movie when it came out and I figured it was the inspiration...you did a great job of translating it into poetry :)
