Initials Painted On The Wall Poem by Paul Warren

Dirty deeds and a fatal sentence
To pay for their crimes is their penance
To take from them everything they had
To the gallows they went their head over bagged

The Adelaide gaol stood for incarcerations
And the death penalty for murder felons
Once they were hung by their necks until dead
They were buried between the walls as their fate
Marked on the wall by initials and execution date.
