Transcendental Sonnet #547:
Twice Marked
I am under the gun she is under the knife
They want to kill me I want to give her my life
What a strange time in which to love and be alive
We are innocent could never hurt anyone
But now the final war of vengeance has begun
Twice marked am I as Jew and Christian they will drive
Me down to my death in but a matter of time
Twice marked too the things I leave behind me this rhyme
And the dearest the sweetest most beautiful girl
I ever imagined my chosen marked as I
O banner of love twice mark us now and unfurl
One night as one flesh over us before we die
Just as her stalker to the death means you mean well
Kill me dark warriors but... Surprise! Wake up in hell
