Capital Punishment

raging cruelty
bellows deep within
the skin that
wraps you up

inflicting pain
is your reward
for giving birth
now I know why
my middle name is hurt

thatta boy!

there's the raw, primal power I knew you had in ya! I'm impressed with this incredible poem. Some minor punctuation quips, but it truly is about the message, not the semantics isn't it? I enthusiastically love this! Mark W.
