And before I head off, another poem that better suits the day.
Marcellus “Khaliifah” Williams wrote poetry while in prison, on death row.
Even the family of the victim and the prosecutor's office fought for the state not to kill him. The case against him was all wrong.
As Langston Hughes might have said, "He, too, sings America."
Or sang it, while he could.
Until tonight.

@MLClark Thank you for posting this.
Thank you for sitting with it.
@MLClark I feel that, since there was exculpatory evidence showing his innocence, that anyone who assisted in him being executed are murderers. I hope they face better justice than they have shown, some day.
@AskTheDevil they will. We all do. You of a entities know that 😉
@MLClark The family should charge the judge with murder as he knows Mr Williams was innocent but used the judicial system as his murder weapon.
@MLClark This is obscene. I really don’t know this country anymore.
