In this hour of regret, <br />I beg for forgiveness for my sin <br />Hope for a better home than where I am, <br />God above now do your thing <br /> <br />Not long from now ill be in the Next Life, <br />A Promised Land they but will it be there for me? <br />Heaven or Hell or somewhere in between, <br />I’ll have to wait and see <br /> <br />Here I’ am at Death’s door, <br />Soon it’ll open and ill be gone with the wind <br />This is the Last Mile, <br />And I’m walking Memory Lane again <br /> <br />All locked on as I sit in the electric chair, <br />My sentence is near and my Last Words are said <br />Vision is blinded and the countdown begins, <br />As two thousand volts now go through my head<br /><br />Andrew Curtis Markey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-last-mile/
