Life in Your Hands
Write a poem or short story about if you were death and had to choose each day who must die.
Precious Scum
Each day a gift sent to the rift
To save them from the squalor.
A life I lure to spare the poor,
But never the white-collar.
The power, great, painless to take,
I never could abuse.
How could they know it’s time to go?
No, that’s for me to choose.
Now, there are those who dare oppose
My godly overseeing.
But it is them, I tell you, friend,
Who do all the deceiving.
Life in my hands, with it I plan
To purge the world so numb
Of those deserving while preserving
All the precious scum.
