Waiting
I do not
know
What ordinal
number I am.
It matters
not -
we have lost
count.
What wrong have
I done? -
cursed and
damned
locked up in
a room
Waiting…
occupants of
the beds
close by –
keep on changing
faces as I
glance from the tube.
why was I
chosen
to this
sordid fate
to be the
sacrifice
thrown into
the mouth
of an angry
volcano
appease the
gods
so that
others may live.
it is just a matter of time
before the
shaman of evil men
shoves me
into the fire
while I lay
down
waiting..
