The Mind of a Murderer (...With Somewhat of a Conscience)
I beseech thee, forgiveth me and my wicked ways!
For in an instant my heart hath turned all light away,
From that vile, wretched, thing that was claiming to be human.
...And in my fit of rage, put into motion,
A plan to do away with said "woman",
In such a way, as to inflict upon her,
along with the murdering,
The utmost of pain and suffering,
before her untimely end.
For in an instant my heart hath turned all light away,

...And in my fit of rage, put into motion,
A plan to do away with said "woman",
In such a way, as to inflict upon her,
along with the murdering,
The utmost of pain and suffering,
before her untimely end.

Nice poem, and an interestingly difficult theme to tackle because of the tussle with conscience.
It reminds me of Vicki Feaver's poem "Judith" on a similar theme but from a woman-as-murderer perspective in an act of sexual revenge.
