Wall of Death

This is my tenth dark poem for Dharrsheena.

The music is "Wall of Death" a cover of the Richard Thompson song about the circus attraction, not quite the same as my wall of death, but the title is the same and it is a wonderful song.

🖤💀🖤💀🖤💀🖤💀🖤💀🖤💀

Unable to move, not in control

The first brick is placed. To start the wall

Mortar is added, keeps it in place

Abusive captor laughs in your face

🖤💀

The wall is growing, your fate is sealed

Breathing is hard, and now You can’t see

Brick upon brick, now buried alive

He took your tongue, you can’t even cry

🖤💀

Your final moments, bricks in your face

To starve or suffocate in this space

This, your end for no reason at all

Victim of cruelty, here you fall

🖤💀

Your life is taken, and no one knew

The body behind the wall is YOU

🖤💀🖤💀🖤💀🖤💀🖤💀🖤💀
