Today I went to Level,

when I entered the Door on the Pod,

my emotions ran wild - I didn’t move,

I closed my eyes and smiled,

I snifed the air to smell the smoke

From the many fires that was Lit…

I envisioned a 5 man team Getting 

ready to Be used,

I Heard familiar voices screaming 

my name

Then I opened my eyes and my smile

faded away…

as I smelled nothing!

no 5 man team!

no voices screaming my name!

as I entered into the cell - Handcuffs Being 

taken off me - as I stood up and Looked

around - It Hit me!

The State of Texas Executed them all!

EveryBody Dead!
