Today I went to Level,
When I entered the Door on the Pod,
My emotions ran wild - I didn’t move,
I closed my eyes and smiled,
I snifed the air to smell the smoke
From the many fires that was Lit…
I envisioned a 5 man team getting
ready to Be used,
I heard familiar voices screaming
my name
Then I opened my eyes and my smile
faded away…
as I smelled nothing!
no 5 man team!
no voices screaming my name!
as I entered into the cell - Handcuffs being
Taken off me - as I stood up and looked
around - It hit me!
The State of Texas Executed them all!
EveryBody Dead!
