*** Satanic Ritual ***

by 'Barry R. Long'

on life's walk, I've seen a lot
but this scene, it was a shock
with blood on the ceiling and across the wall
over the door and even down the hall
the victims face was all construed
expressing the horror, she last viewed
her hands and feet were still tied
to the bed posts, thus the body lied
thirteen stab wounds we came across
forming the shape of an inverted cross
candles were laid out in a circle
supposedly part of a satanic ritual
she was burnt on her hands and feet
brand was a five pointed star with sides that meet
carefully disemboweled, the organs removed
all wore marks from being chewed
what was the point of this debauchery?
I ask myself, as she leaves for the mortuary
