Beneath The Bleeding Tree

He had a weak point
This man
Respected and even feared

Seemed to hold the world
More powerful than the magic herbs
That cured the cry of Old Li's daughter

Blood stained smock
Butcher the impatient child
Weep at his every move

Deaf Ears
Protective ally, scarcely endeavored
Life savers unable to absorb the impossible

Torture
Beg to me now
I vowed revenge, I would be avenged

Throwing the chain about his waist
A short chain, padlock
Let us be gone, yes

Loud and shrill screams
Bursting with a power of the world
I hesitated, trembled
I vowed revenge

He had new things to learn about fear
Let us be gone
Blood stained

A wrong is unredressed
when retribution
OVERTAKES
its redresser

New power
Nemo ne impure lacessit
"In pace requescat, my daughter!"

I screamed above the pounding screams
Throwing my body to the Earth above the
casket

I began to cry
I got my revenge
