Capital Punishment

When coins were invented,

as was chosen sleaze,

all the pride invested,

gave birth to such a squeeze,

 

this repeated noose,

humanity enjoys,

paying for the screws loose,

all the girls and boys,

 

cat Cecil didn’t tally,

tokens made of gore,

but tooth-puller Wally,

will always need some more,

 

by man’s grand design,

a note, a bill, is god,

no good deed can redefine,

the need for such a rod,

 

that beats upon the skins,

of the master species,

spend the cash; on all the sins,

just breathe in all the faeces,

 

where the living dead,

continue with their bank,

if they wonder; no soul fed?

Themselves; they need to thank!
