Death Sentence

Janet Kuypers, 06/08/06&06-09-06

the verdict has just been drought in
the defense lawyers seemed to have a magnificent case
but the evidence against her was overwhelming

after appeals, her sentence was finally set
but because of her “good behavior”
when they gave her the death sentence

she had the right to decide when her death would come.
Not if she’d die, not how she’d die,
those aren’t her choices

but this court thought they would be nice
and at least let her decide how quickly
she wanted to go

and you know, they set it all up in court
everyone there was wearing their lab coats,
looking very professional

and everyone at the court thought she was
the nicest woman possible
but, we all thought that outside of the court too

and you know, they could be nice to her there
but she’s been handed a death sentence
without anything ever being he fault

she’s not guilty, of whatever you think, she’s not guilty

so giving her the right to decide when to dis
is not a gift everyone is committing a crime
by allowing this abomination

and you can call yourselves a court
but I know it is like my mother has been tortured
in her Lithuanian gulag concentration camp

post World War II
and now you give her the right to decide when to die
how good of you

so now we, like death sentence protesters,
want to fight against this sentence
want to protest, want to make change

but we know we’re pounding our little fists
at closed and dead-bolted doors
and we doubt anyone can hear our pleas

so thank you, whoever the Hell you are
for giving my mother the right
to decide when to die

even though the rest of us aren’t ready
to decide is she should die
at least now, lucky for us, she chooses

that the torture in her concentration camp
can finally stop, even if freeing herself
means her death
