Wallow

by

Richard Betts Jr.

I'm fearful to come to you,
And speak aloud my petition.
For what I propose to beseech of you,
You have spent existence in opposition.

I'm unsure how you will accept my request,
Or what my be its reception.
But my anger has grown stronger,
So in this case, I'll make an exception.

I fall to my knees and pray, practically begging,
For you to allow us our revenge.
And though it may be wrong toask such a thing,
I seek justice for the souls we must avenge.

They say revenge
Is a bitter pill to swallow.
But I will savor every single drop -
And in its bitterness I'll wallow.
