Last Moment
Strapped in a gurney
 Ending was his journey
 Soon the injection would start
 Easily stopping his heart
 
 Before the execution began
 The warden asked the man
 “Do you have any last words?”
 Staring ahead, the man went onwards.
 
 “I never killed
 Or chilled or grilled
 A living soul at all
 So do not stall
 
 “Let me free
 For I have not hurt thee.”
 He continued to stare
 At the family there
 
 The family of the dead glared behind the windows
 And still held their sorrows
 And began to pray
 That the man would pay
 
 Yet the man about to die 
 Knew he did not kill the guy
 He was blamed,
 He was framed.
 
 The warden looked at the man,
 And then began his master plan.
 He ordered his team
 To inject the liquid.
 
 Soon the man felt the pain
 Of the poison to slain.
 He knew he was right
 In the midst of this fright.
 
 As he felt his final minute,
 He knew he’d soon be mute.
 Yet he knew he was sinless
 And soon became lifeless.
