Question: Help me improve my writing: critique this poem!?
He faces the firing squad,
pockets bulging with razor blades and bullet shells,
cigarette butts and puppy tails!.

Ethanol courses through brittle veins,
Suppress the pain; save it for later!.
How about for dinner!?
The nourishment for his broken heart!.

Testimony tumbles on deaf ears,
glass eyes!.
Their greedy beaks contorted into grotesque sneers!.
They play the part of human well!.
Accusatory fingers bent in collective scorn!.
Kabuki masks and uniform!.

Upturned palms in a pathetic display of remorse!.
He pleads for redemption,
God, save this boy!.

Knees buckle,
head hits pavement!.
Did not miss!.
