The Hangman's Son

If it was your job would you kill, would you do it I'd it was someone you loved?

The drums of death beat malevolently

The hangman stands high on the platform

The raven flies above waiting for a meal

The crowd awaits the condemned to show

The courtyard comes alive with hate

The criminal is escorted to the noose

The young boy stares through the lasso

The final beat of the drums draw near

The hangman sets the noose around the neck

The lever is pulled and the body drops

The hangman sways in the place of the accused

The hour ends with twelfth strike

The ground bathed in blood as a head rolls

The hangman and his son will now be together again

The drums of death halt

Author's Note

i thought of this in like two minutes so let me break it down. the hangman was supposed to hang his own son but couldn't do it, so he hung himself, then his son the beheaded at the end of the hour. f'd up huh? let me know how you liked it or didn't.

I finally figured out why i thought of this . . . i have a tiny noose that my brother made when we joked the we were going to hang to mouse that kept sneaking into our house. ((_^ Well at least that explains why the theme consists of someone hanging.
