Harold Shipman

A mental void, uncaring stance Was it greed or was it askance? Always those that confess To having the answers, Yet he fools all of them The noose his only friend. © Harry J Horsman 2022

'The noose his only friend'..... this explains everything. Brevity, thy name is wit. What all we said in long winded words, you have summarized in the minimum . Congratulations harry on your win.

Smart contest entry, Harry. Even if humans are capable of evil, we do not pass judgment on them. As a result of what God has in store for Shipman, he will meet his just and rightful end at some point in the future.

A man supposed to help the sick, turned out to be the sickest of the lot Harry, his homemade/prison noose turned out to be a great cure for him, you describe very well the empty mindset of a psychopath, all the best for contest, cheers David

Sad that this man who was intelligent enough to become a doctor used his life in such a destructive way. I enjoyed reading this contest entry and reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. Thank you for sharing and for visiting my page. Sara

A human can be evil. However, I have a policy not to judge. God will do that, and Shipman will get his just desserts.
