Requiem for Life by ~servistre:iconservistre:



The requiem of life,
the instrument of death,
the gun or the knife.
Lament languishes through NYPD blues,
walking in the shadow of death’s shoes.
As the drummer plays the LAPD Beat,
a victim is butchered on Slaughter Street.
A sacrificial lamb, a picture of purity,
made evident through insomnia’s insecurity.

Details the feeling people have after death. Also a poem denouncing the fact that society endures to many deaths.

A dark and morbid poem, but such is suited for this day and age. One thing I would change is NYPD and LAPD to police, rather then naming certain ones.

nice hommie, nice, dark and morbid lol but nice

The only reason I won't is due to me using show titles instead of just them being police departments. The shows are NYPD Blue and another show centered around the LAPD
:iconusedlotofhell:
Ah... Didn't know there was shows on them... I'm a computer geek, meaning I watch little TV

ur comment about society enduring death made me think about how easily the news reporters turned the victims at Virginia Tech into "numbers." They didn't care about the individuals, they just wanted to see the "numbers" go up.
