In The First Degree

In The First Degree

How came I to this lovelorn state
where pain and anguish won't abate
What sins are heaped upon my plate
that cries for mercy can not sate
Now alone and filled with pain
my body weak, my mind insane
No will to live nor love to gain
loneliness and confusion reign
Tis time for me to cop a plea
to murder in the first degree
I killed our love then set you free
and in my pain sought amnesty

naw that rolled along rather splendidly but it kinda makes me sad

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
