The Symbol (Free verse) by Dovina

Hung about her neck A symbol of cruelty blood and death swings above her heart. She’s a gang member’s babe indecent, vicious and punk not to be trusted or hired possibly terrorist probably AIDS else she’d trade that cross for some less gruesome symbol of death— a skull perhaps

You're wrong on both counts. Neither of them are symbols of death.

** TEST **
1. Show a crucifix to almost anyone in the modern world - preferably Christian, but really anyone will do.
2. Ask them, what does this represent to you?

Q: Would you say the crucifix/cross (sic) is still a symbol of death even though almost no one in the world has thought that for centuries?

Q2: Would you say it still is because it's a symbol of death for you, Dovina?

Q3: Would you ever consider writing a poem about something you HADN'T read on an email forward?
