The Guillotine

Tall it stands, the mighty structure
Flesh and bones, all it ruptures
Criminals and Killers, scared of it
This beast has got, their death's touch

Blade so heavy and massive and sharp
Last moments of the convict, as if in a time-warp

OH Yeah! Its a killing machine
Frightening demon, gory and obscene
An agent of justice, just and mean
Aggrieved soul's true Savior

The master of all tragedy
Time its only remedy
Re-incarnation of Satan itself
Used by men of Clergy

And the bringer of death, sighs its brutal sigh
Another murderer dead, a peaceful family murdered
Human killing human, lust for power on high
The Guillotine's debt repaid, with true joys, surrendered

The Guillotine designed by a man of medicine
As humane way to execute the condemned
The Guillotine , dispatches the guilty the innocent
A like with with out favor

I was moved by this, such passion and depth.
I loved the the scan of words.
So much Hammer Horror in this.
Just brilliant, it does it for me.
Do more...
