The Annals of History

Review the annals of history Murder upon murder you'll see Start with Adam and Eve's son, Cain Who murdered his brother Abel in vain Then there's Moses, the saintly lawgiver Who murdered an Egyptian taskmaster and shivered The greatest of playwrights, Shakespeare, didn't hedge his bets He wrote of murder in 'Julius Caesar,' 'Macbeth' and 'Romeo & Juliet' What of Abe Lincoln's assassin, Mr. John Wilkes Booth? His name lives all these years later, verily and forsooth There's Lee Harvey Oswald, shot JFK -- ended Camelot Else his name wouldn't be worth a pee in a pot Can't forget the serial killers, whose souls are damned: Richard Speck, John Wayne Gacy, Son of Sam Not to mention the 'iconic' socialists you all know: Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, and Idi Amin also In this century you don't have to rack your brain We've had Osama bin Laden, Bashar Assad, Sadam Hussein... As for 'professionals,' Bonnie & Clyde are your bank robbers And how about ('Scarface') Al Capone for a celebrity mobster? So, you want your name to be ever remembered? Just commit a few murders: Behead and dismember!
