Best Execution Poems

My name is Paul Carter and I want to tell you my tragic story

My execution




A condemned prisoner was I,
Hours before my execution,
I was at peace with myself,
Thence came the short shrift,
for confession and absolution,

That brief penance,

for me to confess the crime I never did,
Should have been for the judge 
for pronouncing a wrong verdict,

As a sharp...

Dream eaters to plague my darkness

They consider capital punishment a...

Calm sits a valiant man inside of a dungeon
In Darkness sits a monk inside of a Monastery
And On this night they both share the same thoughts
how long God untill I am free from here
Footsteps resound down through the hall
 They Listen  as the sound...

THE DAY OF HIS EXECUTION

I had the devil in me since the day that I came along

Sonny hid behind the melons 
In a busy Asian marketplace,
Near the plantains and the mangos 
Where the shadows could obscure his face.  
He inhaled the air around him 
And enjoyed the fragrant scent of spice: 
Nutmeg, cumin, coriander... 
Made him hungry for some curried...
