Harold Shipman

A mental void, uncaring stance
Was it greed or was it askance?
Always those that confess

Dr Harold Shipman

The mind is the devil, not the heart,
when in doctor’s garbs, can’t tell apart,
an engaging smile, then the death blow,
some died real quick, some very slow.

The D.A. hoped
a tenth suffice
although they moped
much more be nice
but after all
who'll question his
a man of gall
and expertise.

Who walked about
so well at ease
that no one doubt
he's worth his fees
cause dead, don't shout
he does what he please.

They gave account
of just a few,
much higher

a guy dressed in tights and  glittring
robe, came out complaining about
 doing all the chres, while
the others had more
time to be with their women,
