“Sit Now In Misery"

“Sit Now In Misery"

by:

Virgilio F. De leon Jr.

I

I sit now in this dark place

Contemplating…my mistakes.

I sit here and praying

To forgive me for this sin

II 

I wonder how soon

The drug would take effect

To make a me a murderer

Of the highest edict

III

And so I felt it rumbling

Contracting and I start whimpering

Afraid for my co workers to hear

What has been transpiring here

IV

And I took him in my hands

A little child while he could not see

I held him as I knew he died

Long before I could see his angel smile

V

And so I still sit with my bloodied hands

And my never ending tears

From pain in my heart

And the pain in my mind

My heart cries out

And my soul laments my loss

VI

I have lost so much today

I have lost my mortal soul.
