Tic toc tic toc
People always make a big deal
About someone on death row
Awaiting to be executed
Many believe that is inhumane
Regardless of how atrocious the crime is
Terminating someone's life
At a given time and place
So everyone knows including the criminal
Exactly when
The life will end
What if the law was changed
So that everyone but the subject
Knows the time and place
Of the execution?
And it was to occur without any type of harbinger
A bullet shot through the head
While strolling the yard
Would that be more acceptable?
Perhaps
At least that will make the prisoner
Live the life he or she has
However long it may be
No different from
Anyone else
Not on death row
