May I Rest In Peace [rev.] Poem by Margaret Alice Second

May I rest in Peace - [REV.]
Nici overjoyed, after the call she has a new job,
she was afraid of being unemployed, scared of
losing her love, starving to death on her own as
she aged all alone; her eyes sparkled in delight

Now with a new job no fears are left - only how to
arrange early departure from the studio to start
immediately; so glad for my daughter I forgot the
rules that make life work, referred to a time

When the Lord & Master of Crocodile Castle left
me because I seemed to have lost my job - this
was an error - Scorpio King had to involuntarily
lash out & sting me, angrily declaring I was out

Of line, it was all my fault we broke up for a time;
sighing I mantle myself in deep, dark guilt, march
to the guillotine & beheading for misdeeds of my
youth again - quietly I lay my head on the block

Close my eyes as my head is lopped - a fitting
end for big, bad, evil me; & thus may the world
be protected from me - may I rest in peace…
