"The Gleeful Reapers."
The, "Hangman's Noose," was
Designed for You;
The Punishments befitting Your
Crimes
Yet still, You walk with a Proud
Swagger, until You see the Gallows
in sight
And, we Cheer and we Watch with
Ecstatic anticipation, for the
Twitching and Bulging of your eyes;
As you Approach the end of your
life
Because, "Gleeful Reapers," are We
All, as Excitedly We stand by with
our Children, drinking our Whiskey,
making small talk and taking black
and white photo shots
The Smoke of Cigars and pictures
fills the air; along with the Vultures
who wait in an hungry Frenzy to pick
the Corpses flesh from its bones...

*This poem is intended to be a disparaging Slander towards the people whom in the 1800s and even now have an Sadistic Satisfaction towards those who are being Executed

I know exactly what you mean Pan.
The original "rubber neckers".
And they brought their children!
You've nicely captured the condemned's
double insult to injury as
not only he has to die but
to the amusement of the morbid masses.
No dignity granted in that death.
