Catastrophe averted.

The warden was alerted!

Governor called at dawn.

Drafting papers absolution.

There was no execution.

The Hangman left. He’s gone.

The reporters seem conflicted.

The evidence was depicted.

Eye witnesses, deception, con.

From catastrophe to walkaway.

Freedom granted via DNA.

Freedom innocence, walking on.

News broke at the dawn.

All parties were alerted.

All the nudes have nothing on.

The gamblers are addicted.

The addicts sometimes crave.

The opposition is conflicted.

And in silence, smile and wave.

No one has solutions.

And their voices, they still talk.

All these hanging executions.
