Those Without Love(Have No Fears of Death)

With his eyes to the heavens
he exclaimed "Oh my God!"
before he jerked through the trap
and into eternity.
Inadvertently his feet begin flinching
the prominent dance of death
a formidable resident at every lynching
The heart wrenching sorrow
of a now fatherless child
are drowned out by the cheers and chants
of the frenzied crowd gone wild.
A widowed wife holds back her grief
as she sees the thief she fell in love with
abruptly swinging from his neck
his head covered by a smooth black sheath
they cut the man down and his lifeless body
quickly slumps to the ground
before he is even dragged away
the next noose is tightly wound
A man is brought in draped in heavy shackles
Edging before the rope, the man has no family
no drive nor hope, no religion, no ambition,
no specialty nor fears.
"For crimes against his majesty the king,
You are hereby to be hanged by the neck until dead
any last words?"
"yeah.. how about ....... fuck yourself you gutless worms!!!"
