The ending of a life

a poem I wrote out of bordem

The ending of a life

Tick tock goes

the clock in the cell

come good people,

listen to the

story I tell

 

of a boy named bill

and a gun

he was the

preachers son

 

he put the rifle

to his friends

head pulled the

trigger now his

best friends dead

 

billy lived on

death row for

two long years

on 6/6/06 he

shed his last tear.
