Patience For Death

Summary: A poem about how a prisoner might feel about Kira. Sad.

-

I go through it every day,

The waiting, waiting, waiting.

I lay in my cot at night,

Hoping, thinking, debating.

-

As each second ticks by

I wonder if it's my turn.

I'm waiting, waiting, waiting,

For the pain and then the burn.

-

My cellmate died yesterday,

While playing cards with me,

I had just flashed my Royal Flush,

It was the last thing he would see.

-

They're dropping all around me,

And I wonder if I'm next.

Heat attack or suicide, or

Some haunting, gruesome text?

-

The news says he's a hero,

And the hero always wins,

But I sit waiting, waiting, waiting,

To die for my past sins.

-

Will I die tomorrow?

Do I even want to know?

Will I loose my life today,

Because a stranger deems it so?

-

I'm waiting, waiting, waiting,

For my heart to explode in pain,

For more people like me to fall

In a way I can't explain.

-

They say it's for the greater good,

But it's really just degrading,

The news says he's a hero,

But I'm stuck waiting, waiting, waiting…

Has anyone ever done this before? I've been thinking about it for the past few days, trying to think how to word it right, and I think I like it. It would weird getting into a different frame of mind like that, because I actually agree with the death penalty. I think Raito was right, but he's a bit insane, thinking so much of himself. --'

Anyways, I actually like how this turned out. So please, tell me what you think.Review!
