The Messenger

Kill the messenger
In his suit and tie
His black limousine
The bullet-proof glass
The parade of red and blue
Armed men
10-millimeter standard issue
Kill the messenger
String him by his tie, and burn the foundation he built
Through blood,
Sweat
Tears
This land is my land
This land is our land
So kill the messenger.

  2. Wow, only one comment? I very much enjoyed your poem Mr. Davis. I'm no poetry expert, but when I read it aloud, your poem just rolls off the tongue. I particularly like this part:
    The parade of red and blue
    Armed men
    10-millimeter standard issue
    Kill the messenger
    Even with so little words I get a great sense of what is going on. Brilliant job!
