Suffering

Surrounded by monsters,
Watching me burn alive on a constraining chair,
They wait as the fire climbs up my toes.

I scream, attempting to roll for freedom.

They hold me down right,
They hold me down tight.
They do not want to let me go.

I scream some more,
Until my lungs are sore,
Kicking and shouting until my flesh is torn.

I snap, catching my breath.

They fill me up with snakes and rodents,
Watching me as I fade away.
Smiling like little boys after finding some gold.
