is this justice ?

Who was this man that killed so many
By rope his favorie weapon
He mesured their size
With such care and grace

Very polite was he he never rushed his heavy task
Partnerd with his chum in crime very neat and tidy they where
Giving their cliants the best of care
All to be done in an hour

Onto the gallows they would drop but first he measured the drop
Then thir weight he considerd
When he had his calculations done he was ready for his task to be done
Onto the gallows they where neaty placed

There feet and hands where bound
He place a black hood on there head
The rope was carefully placed to break their neck

With a hymm from the priest they waited for the time to begin with the correct time approach and no remores the order was given to begin
With a tug of the lever the trap door open and
Down went the crimminal

His payment paid in full
His payment his life paid in full

I have thought about the death penalty and come to the conclusion that it is done for entertainment more than anything. What was the justice for the Salem witch trials when it was just a mean little girl making up lies about these people. The states that now strap a person in a chair and then stick needles in their arms and call it humane are just kidding themselves. I am glad my state doesn't have it for it doesn't make you safer, it cheapens life and makes it less safe.dunno doh
