The executioner cares not about your justice
As long as he dose his job

Executioner’s Blind Justice
~~~~~~*~~~~~~

Slay me not
Mr. Executioner
Lower not your axe
Onto
My bare neck
If able you are
To see
The peace
Imprinted
Upon my face.

Electrify not
Mr. Executioner
My aching soul
For I was not there
When wrong was done.

Order not
“Fire”
Mr. Executioner
As a squad Aims
Loaded rifles
At the target
Indicating my heart
For I was
And am innocent.

I counted
Thirteen Steps
To reach the noose
Upon the gallows top
Remember me
After you cover
My face
Mr. Executioner
‘Neath
Your darken hood
Say a prayer for me
As you
Trip
The gallows trap.

It seems if you have a good lawyer you can get away with murder.

For the most part, these are rather quick and less painful ways of dying. Something that many who suffer the slings and arrows of old age pass-through will be for their release in death.

Something to ponder. But, I wouldn't blame the executioner, like John said. He's just carrying out court orders. Like carrying out the garbage, somebody's gotta do it.

Very good, William, I like this poem!
At all times we need prayers,
but more so when upon the gallows!
Thanks for sharing, may you be blessed!

If someone goes through a lengthy court proceeding where there are witnesses and are found guilty, I imagine there are not many who are wrongly convicted. Still, if there are wrongly convicted and executed that is a blemish on our court system.

The executioner doesn't establish justice, he only seems to execute it, whether it is justice or not. An interesting poem, seeming highlighting the face that people are sometimes executed for crimes they didn't commit. John

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
