SHYLOCK

As he hangs

Sweeping and swaying from side to side

A body; limp;

A fragile mind so cruelly dealt with

Quivers not, the hand that stole

With a heart as dark and black as coal

Unsympathetic due to differences few

A mind led by society's views


Without grace

A death so tragic yet inevitable

Swimming in loss

Tears shed are unaccounted for in the rain

In the dead of night, without a soul

With a heart as dark and black as coal

Destroying a life as brave as two

A mind led by society's views
