Execution's Back in Fashion

Execution's Back in Fashion (empathy means nothing to the dead)

Can you humanely kill someone like me?

With a kiss to the throat or a bullet to the brain.

Assisted self regulation,

helium asphyxia,

Or enough Benadryl to drive me insane.

Can you punish me for my immoral mind,

Thought provoking art pieces reduced to felonies,

Many ideas to which my name has been signed.

My own album of melodies.

An improper injection would give my subjects chemical burns,

My creative outlet now shocks even me,

my connections have only lead to the spreading of even more electrical energy.

So as you convince me to swallow something lighter than air,

and as you let my frail body hang,

I will thank you for the acknowledgement,

and the people will consider my execution humane.
