sadly
some people
commit suicide
the very
first second
they realize
their sick
perverted
game
just failed
and surely
they’re getting
thrown in jail

what he did
was wrong
punishment
awaits
this is a real person
not norman bates
he abducted
a child
allready
in pain
whose life
isn’t going
well anyway

eight and a half
years later
she is free
strong
and bright
saved
from the cellar
the endless night
got a book
published
a movie deal
to explain
how it went
down
for real
but we’ll never
hear
priklopil
tell his side
where he got
the thrill

was he really
a monster
a jailer
or a father figure
was there fear
and loathing
or was it
something
bigger
people still
running horrid
after all this years
he’s been dead
and burried

she’s alive and fine
as she can be
maybe she’s less
fucked up
then you or me

it’s too bad
it ended
up that way
i wonder
what
he’d had
to say

why do we
condemn
him so severe
because what
he did
is so
surreal

if he asked
for ransom
made his
demand
would that
be easier to
comprehend

if he raped her
chopped her
and made
a shallow grave
instead of
making
her a slave
