Execute

Pensive in the guard shack of county jail

Enveloped by concrete and steel
This life is no longer real
Wounds are too cancerous to heal
Breath is unwanted.

Like animals caged in a zoo
bored with oatmeal and stew.
Dreaming is too hard to do.
Memories already haunted.

Zoo keepers robotically walk
Demeaning if they even talk
Glaring at those whom they stalk
Their lives cannot be good

No human one would work here
If they hold life very dear.
Negative violence and fear
Execute, maybe you should.
