To Kill Without Killing
A Poem by TTBoy
They all did it
though they didn’t touch him
or spit directly on him
They all did it
To know of someone’s intent
and motive to harm another for their
benefit makes them just as guilty
as they stood by
and sat by
and did nothing to stop it
But there have been others
It’s just that the thinly layered layer of
dirt used to cover their shame
has not been dusted yet by the breath
of those gone before him
And the real killers
roll with the crocodiles
They will until someone with a strong enough
harpoon comes along
and snares all that they have swallowed
Then
there will really be no need for a courtroom
For we would only see their humiliation
then
