Execution (an acrostic poem)


Execution

Earthly body to be left behind
Xenomania for the wrong types of cultures
Everyone turned against you
Cannibalism is a highly
Unpopular pastime according
To those who pass the laws
In this country, and in most
Others, you would also be condemned to
Night-filled oblivion

5/3/11
Form: acrostic

Cannibalism intrigues me. Sometimes people engage in it out of necessity, other times, to get their kicks. In some cultures, it is just a way of life and a good way to get rid of the trouble makers. Some people use the concept of cannibalism to drive home a separate point by horrifying their opposition and the neutral people over to their way of thinking.
