A Poem For Saturday

    “We have your family”  Tumblr_lkcj9cBruT1qetbkqo1_500
    That was 23 hours ago.
    22 hours since I stormed out the Polizia’s HQ.
    15 hours since I capped a fucking snitch.
    1 hour since I decided there was only one way
    this would end.
    It might already be too late.
    Found this burner shoved in my ticket pocket.
    Ransom note wrapped round it.
    Letters cut from back issues of Leon.
    “Cooperate or we put them in RTW”
    Those sick fucks.
    Kidnapped.
    by RL Stevenson Black Label.
    Got my kin held down.
    Got my fam tied up.
    G’s trapped in triangles.
    Fighting the Stockholm syndrome.
    Hostages laced in H&M.
    God forbid.
