Wall of Death
A Tenth Piece of Dark Poetry.
This is my tenth dark poem for Dharrsheena.
The music is "Wall of Death" a cover of the Richard Thompson song about the circus attraction, not quite the same as my wall of death, but the title is the same and it is a wonderful song.
๐ค๐๐ค๐๐ค๐๐ค๐๐ค๐๐ค๐
Unable to move, not in control
The first brick is placed. To start the wall
Mortar is added, keeps it in place
Abusive captor laughs in your face
๐ค๐
The wall is growing, your fate is sealed
Breathing is hard, and now You canโt see
Brick upon brick, now buried alive
He took your tongue, you canโt even cry
๐ค๐
Your final moments, bricks in your face
To starve or suffocate in this space
This, your end for no reason at all
Victim of cruelty, here you fall
๐ค๐
Your life is taken, and no one knew
The body behind the wall is YOU

Poetic horror, well done.
Dark indeed! But I love it!!
These are two great takes on one title/subject!
Wow youโve picked up this theme and run with it and youโve done it really well my friend.
Absolutely loved the concept of being buried alive behind a wall! That's brilliant! Thank you so much for this poem! I loved it so much!
Very well done Mike! This made me think of โThe Cask of Amontillado.โ Wonderful descriptions.
