Roy Pett Poet Rhyme

Death Row Execution Day

Why do I find myself at the gates of hell,

Have I been so evil,heartless,selfish,

People are bad,perhaps I was, who can tell,

Things happen,then those wronged feel anguish,

Obviously what I have done was not the right thing,

Hurting others, deceiving friends, cruel actions,

But being sent to hell for my actions have no bearing,

Just could not deal with situations, too many distractions,

Do not want to go there, do not want to go to hell,

Now wishing that I was not so bad, can I repent,

No way back now, my soul to the devil I did sell,

What have I done, this is the right place I have been sent,

There is no one to save my soul now, lust and desire,

I am about to enter the depths of hells fire.
