The Lottery

The Lottery

It makes sense to them,

To kill and be killed,

To know you might not live,

I think they secretly like it,

Why would they put up it for so long?

They are weak; they are vulnerable,

They wait to win

And win to wait

To stone and be stoned,

Your time will come,

Sooner than you think,

Just like Tessie.
