This one will not be pretty

Six cents for the bullet to the back of the head

Of your man

Whom you have not seen in months

Who was taken from your bed in the middle of the night

For a crime that he may or may not have committed,

A crime that may or may not be a crime.



Six cents on top of the room and board

For which you will have to pay

The room being his tiny prison cell

The food being maggotty rice

A bill for things you never wanted.

A bill that is more than you can afford,

and already the children's bellies growl.



Ah! but they offer you a way out: let us sell his body for parts

Sell his body, he's dead now, what difference does it make.

Better yet, we'll pay for everything, we'll even give you money

Lots of money

and we won't even charge you the six cents.



This could be a great honor! He may go from

being a bad criminal to saving lives!

A kidney for a poor young mother whose children need her.



Who knows, he could become famous, yes famous in America!

Altantic City, Las Vegas, New York City.

World famous: Budapest, Madrid, Vienna

Smart people will move his body into a shape -- so clever!

Looks like he's playing soccer! Patty cakes!

Dancing a happy dance!

Good for science. Good for education.

Many people will pay big money to see him! More than you make in a week!

Many fancy people will line up to see him, without his skin, looking like he's playing soccer.


So clever.


So much better than you paying six cents for the bullet we put in his head.

Don't worry over him so much. Did you really like him so much?

How can you like an enemy of the state? What are your political affiliations?

Where were you last week at 9 p.m.?
