Last Supper
I have died a thousand deaths
taken my last breaths
slowly over time
a poisoning of the mind
you would think this was a crime
but I smiled as I died
as love has ever been my guide
bite by awful bite
this my unpalatable plight
for your cooking is such a fright
as you serve supper with love in your eyes
taken my last breaths
slowly over time
a poisoning of the mind
you would think this was a crime
but I smiled as I died
as love has ever been my guide
bite by awful bite
this my unpalatable plight
for your cooking is such a fright
as you serve supper with love in your eyes

Thank you, the juxtaposition was my goal but was afraid I'd missed the mark. Your words have deeper value than you know.

Sounds like a 21st century, Langston Hughes version of that verse about "that ugly food that stanks" from that section of "Rapper's Delight".
Only missing the Kaopectate reference
I like your flow

Hi, I can't find this poem but just read 1/2 a dozen of Langston's poems. F-ing awesome voice that I've never heard before. So thank you for pointing me his way and if you could, could you repost the poem you mention?

Then you have lived a thousand lives my dear APPS.
And hence the wisdom of being a shaman.
Poisoning just makes you more resistant next time.
Perhaps it's a crime, but who committed it?
If love is your guide then you are on a good path.
'for your cooking is such a fright' LOL!
Perhaps that's what killed you this time around.
I am a good cook damnit! :p
Going to serve you up a nice poison platter for your mind.
Loved this! Good luck in the comp. ;)

Congratulations on the win! Right up my street. It was so serious and plaintive, and I did NOT see the ending coming. I spat tea at the screen! Hilarious.
