Betrayal

by Otis Lee Rodgers (author's profile)

Transcription

Betrayal
The greatest, The most grievous of all
irremissible wrong is betrayal of loyalty

You deceived me without cause when I needed
you the most. You left me for dead buried alive
in the darkness of the abyss of prison-Banished
from the world unjustly so- for crimes
that nerve even happened- and for all people
you well knew that. You counted me out
and moved on with your life- you never
looked back as if I didn't matter.

I have been here-all these years, a
decade plus in this cage, held against
my will under threat of death, alone,
abandoned in mortal anguish, fighting
to stay alive, fighting to be free. I
have vowed with every fiber of my
being and I am hell-bent on getting
revenge, on gewg even "By any means
necessary" and "at all cost"

I cure you and I dam you to hell
I cursed god, the sun and the earth you
stand upon

This was very moving to me. I have written things with the same mood tense as this.
