Poetic Justice

Oy, the onslaught of bad news.  We need surcease.  How about a spot of poetry? David Lal from Above the Law is happy to oblige:
Into our town the Hangman came,
Smelling of gold and blood and flame.
And he paced our bricks with a diffident air,
And built his frame in the courthouse square.
Lal's source is here--where, in full length, the poem carries a somewhat different message from the message of the bare excerpt.  There's even a movie.
