COMMUTATION
For Brandon Bernard, who was executed by the State on 12.10.20 at 9.37pm
Tonight, the state
Will take the LORD's name in vain.
Claiming itself to be God
As it takes up the right
To take another life.
They will give Brandon Bernard
Their poison cocktail,
That deadly combination of three
That they will lethally inject into his veins.
And then have the gall to call it all humane.
