Look at the camera
No, let me be more precise:
Look directly into the lens
Your future audience will want to know if you knew
And though you never thought ignorance bliss til now
You know that you know
Hold your head high
Do not hope
It is the enemy of dignity
Do not despair
You are dead already
If the method be blade
Close your eyes on steel's cool approach
They may plunge fingers into your eyes regardless
How rude.
You will probably scream
Try not to
Gurgles are unbecoming
If the method be flame
You will scream
That's okay
If the method be bullet
Lucky bastard
Are you looking into the lens?
Keep your eyes locked
Ignore your executioners
Lest your stoic facade break
Are you religious?
Mouth something
There is no god but God
And Muhammad is His Messenger
Unable to speak?
Your finger is a totem
There is no god but God
And Muhammad is His Messenger
Not religious?
Mouth it anyway
There is no god
But your death is not your own
Your future audience will want to know if you knew
