Merciless Axe Man

Nobody wants to meet the Axe Man
Neither in an alley or newsroom
Because a cut is a cut
There’s simply pain, physical and emotional
Lasting hurt, bottom line
And sometimes running does not help
Especially when there’s no apparent escape
No resolution
Just you and the Axe man with vengeful intentions
Either in an alley or newsroom
A cut is a cut
Small or deep
Blood drips one way or another
That of which is from actual skin
As well as the heart
And so uncaring the Axe Man
Who slashes and slashes
Until there’s nothing else to slash
For lives have been ruined, jobs destroyed
Unnecessary mercilessness.
