In Capital Cases

In Capital Cases I once was a Christian who had been in Congress And points of the people would always miss Being understanding should be essential But all that I did ended up inconsequential. Was supposed to follow being part of crowd Always being thought that I was endowed By God to fulfill my now new position Never putting people though an inquisition. Was it Spanish, English or American for sure? Maybe more then any of them can endure Even in California many must have complained For days refused by God and it has not rained. Hotter and more polluted world has become Why do we apparently appear as being dumb And all the world's problems simply ignoring When for all answers we should be exploring. You take this trail and mine is over there All those found by fools may only be fair God is always in right and proper places And can He grant death in capital cases? James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran
