I fear not death

but only the agony of dying

I fear not the knife

but resent my assailant’s smile

What is a pointless death

but release from meaningless life?

What does the killer gain

but a burden to take to his grave?

The simplicity is really powerful here Parson. I like the final sentence a lot.

Thanks for reading. I am grateful for your time.

Thank you, Bee. So lovely of you to say that. Chopped it about a bit. Not sure whether I've finished yet.
