Manhunt

Your reign of terror carried out
by posting a manifesto
listing the names of those who offended you
laying in wait and executing the innocent,
seeking revenge on all who hurt you
when they called you a liar

and held you to public shame

you created fear in their hearts

by acting out your threats

leaving cops scrambling to protect themselves

finally captured in a stranger’s house

left to burn with only charred remains

as evidence as to your where-a-bouts.
