The Midwest Boy Killer

Judged an outstanding member of your community,
Only shows how erroneous some people can be!
How were you getting away with all that for so long?
Neighbors not suspecting you doing those things so wrong?

What horror transpired when they found that evidence;
All those bodies found buried under your residence!
You engaged in clandestine homosexual acts;
Nefariously murdered and can’t deny those facts
Exemplary of evil in those killing attacks!

Guilty as charged on all thirty-three counts you were found;
All victims’ families pain and suffering abound.
Capital punishment was not good enough, no doubt!
Your lethal injection death was your easy way out!



I am not expressing my personal opinions on controversial subjects such as the 
death penalty or anything else here.  This is just my first attempt at an acrostic 
poem that was written in 2004 on the tenth anniversary of Gacy's execution.

What a creeper, huh?...My son tried to write a poem about this criminal and researched him for the longest time...his history is full of pain and then he turned it against his victims....Bob, you did an outstanding job on your first acrostic. Rich in detail and a unique approach for this acrostic...Enjoyed it a lot! Congrats to u! :) Gwendolen
