Guillotine

Guillotine! Oh, guillotine!
I cannot help but imagine.

Are you the perfect picture of man’s cruelty?
Are you the symbol that marks the demise of humanity?

You make execution come with ease.
You swoop down and heads roll where they please.

Your blade knows the taste of a human soul,
Without biting or chewing, it swallows whole.

We gather around to watch your skill and cheer
While we drown our own waiting necks in locally brewed beer.
