The Crack of a Whip
May 11, 2011
The crack of a whip
a fateful sound
the creak of the desk
it makes my ears pound
the slow raspy breath of it's victim
it chills me to the bone
the drip of blood on the the floor
it makes my stomach turn
the shred of broken skin
it tears a scream from my throat
the deep cackle of the overseer
it breaks my heart
the thud of thunder
shakes me hard
the sobs of dear friends crying
it brings me harm
the crack of a whip
what a horrid sound
