Ode to LA While Thinking of Stanley "Tookie" Williams, Deceased

"An eye for an eye!"

The ol' conservatives cheer

Quelling their own fear

-

Their Bible is clear

"Punishment should be severe

Oh, and repent, too"

-

Now blood's on our hands

We're guilty for we condoned

State-sponsored murder

-

And that's what it is

Execution is murder

Will you now repent?
