I struggled not to stare
to try to sneak the image
that mark on his face emboldened
seeking attention, the look.
He claimed the Mark of the Beast
the ancient sacred digits
the sign of the end times tattooed
a cry for help, a curse,
a conversation started.
Forever marked by these digits
out loud, front and center,
a curse, a warning, written,
proclaimed for all to see.
Stopping for a moment
Drawn to the digits,
the Mark of the Beast,
asking him why,
A grin his reply.
