what are the final thoughts
after the final words
before the guillotine drops
or 2000 volts shock
or the farewell cocktail pops
the veins of a serial killer...

does he wish his sentence
had been executed much sooner,
in the first trimester...

does she wonder why
her right to live weighs less
than that of her fetus...

does he regret poor choices made
or  poor voices erased...

does she pray for redemption
or divine intervention

does he fear God's wrath
or
the devil's trident...

or
is the mind of the walking dead
crystal clear like morality...

and the conscience of the living
stained like that ole rugged cross at calvary?
