What can be worse?
You're innocent.

You know you're innocent.

You are in the complete control of others.

They put an IV in your arm

They push the syringes home.

And inside, you know your innocent.

3. This can be worse
You're born by karmic lottery a black man

You know growing up that you can be wrongly accused

To most white people, you look just like the black man who committed a murder

You are innocent, you know you are innocent

You are tried and found guilty

They put an IV in your arm

They push the syringes home

And inside, you know you are innocent.

4. The ones who murdered Troy, they are not innocent.
And every last court and law enforcement official, and anybody else who could have stepped in but didn't, they the guilty ones.

5. I have always been anti DP. But after reading "The Innocent Man" by
John Grisham...it made me really understand how the system can go wrong.

6. I thought that exact thing about...
...the poor guy in Texas who Rick Perry gladly murdered.

IIRC, his house had caught fire, he fled the house, but returned to try to save his children.

He was seriously burned, the children died, he was accused of setting the fire and murdering his children.

He was executed, despite the fact that the arson investigation concluded that arson was not the cause of the fire.

So this guy got seriously injured, lost his children in a horrific way, then was jailed and executed for something he did not do.

RIP to all wrongfully murdered by The "infallible" State.

7. Worse? Pushing the needle.
An innocent man may or may not be put to death, but you're the one that gets to live with killing him. The instrument of revenge, wrongful or otherwise. Live with that.

9. The needle pusher has the ability to choose not to do it.
