My hands handcuffed behind me
I await my demise in this
Cold cell
Granted one last meal I hear
The slaming of a steel
Door
A key in my cell door and
In steps two guards
With blank expression
They stare silently at
The concrete wall as I
Chew away at my last
Steak and chase a bowl
Of peas with a plastic
Fork
I glance at the clock on
The wall.. 11:15 am
I chose electrocution as
The method of punishment
And I could feel the chill
Of this cold prison on
My shaven head
The words of the judge
Echoed through my
Mind..
"Murderer, Sentenced
To death!"
The priest entered my
Cell and uttered words
For the salvation of
My wretched soul, kissed
The cross then quietly
Left the cell
The guards slowly walked
Me down the long corridor
Towards the execution
Chamber
The switch would be thrown
At 12:00 pm
"An eye for an eye kept
Running through my
Head"
They strapped me to a
Wooden chair as a dozen
Officials sat gawking behind
A glass enclosure
A muffled voice shouted
From behind the thick
Glass
"Burn in hell!"
A sponge soaked with
Water streamed down my
Face yet I was unrepentant
I spit in a guards face and
Screamed out. " I'll kill you
All!"
They flipped the switch and
The prison lights flickered
My body convulsed and in
Moments I slumped over
A lifeless excuse for a
Human being
Such is the life of
A murderer..
