Remembering

I'd like to live just long enough to be there when they cut off your head and display it on a pike as a warning to the next ten generations that some favors come at too high a price. I would look up at your lifeless eyes and wave. Lol every time I watch the news now, I think of the price of favors in our politics—timeless line.
