Appeal - For Troy Davis on death row, Georgia (USA) What can I say, the man will be killed, years ago the state began preparations, not the first time knew what to do took many a life before him, took doctors -- (until they refused) to measure the dose for lethal injection, took Governors (statesmen to explain the Why), took willing guards (many unwilling) in too many prisons -- to make a captive suitable for sacrifice What can I say that has not been said, argued in stately manners at rally, legal briefs in courtrooms before judges and executioners What can I say, the lethal authority of System makes facts into strangers, kills men in warfare and execution, starves families in ghetto-liberty What can I say, How often silence is like a death -- not Death: - Let the man live! - Halt his sacrifice!
