Letters from Death Row, Pt. 2
guitar chords lyrics
I declined the offer of a "last meal".
I'm not interested in participating in that time-worn ritual,
to feed some reporter's breathless post-execution account.
Besides,
material gratification will be the last thing on my mind
as I prepare to cross over to the non-material planes.
Watching Elmer go through
his final days
really drove home
how ritualized this whole process has become;
the ritual aspect perhaps brings some numbing comfort
- or sense of purpose --
to those not really comfortable with this whole killing people scheme.
This is akin
to participating
to those not really comfortable with this whole killing people scheme.
This is akin
to participating
in a play where the participants step to a rote cadence,
acting out their parts in the script,
with nobody pausing to question the underlying premise.
It's like a Twilight Zone episode
where you want to grab someone,
shake them hard, and yell
"Hey, wake up! Don't you know what's going on here?!!!"
Time that surprisingly subjective, abstract concept
is becoming increasingly compressed for me
I will endure this without fear,
and with as much grace as I can summon.
SET ME FREE
SET ME FREE
