Branded
(2011)
Your head full of questions,
But all you do is stare,
The images burn deep,
But the punishment seems fair…
.
The flames swallow with greed,
The iron burns red hot.
Fear shows on their faces,
But mercy is a virtue forgot.
.
Their screams of agony fill the air,
Paired with searing skin.
You draw back and try to escape,
As you know the pain they are in.
.
The scars still show on your body
The nightmares replay in your mind
The punishment seeks justification,
"You have to be cruel to be kind."
