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.

'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
