Killing Weapons Of Choice

The Romans used the wooden debarred crucifix, 
The French used the coupe de grace guillotine, 
The English used the procrustean rack,
The Americans used the haltering gallows,
The Germans used pot-less gas chambers,
The Iraqis used bullet-less poisoned vapors,
The Mexicans used the old fashion firing squad, 
The Saudis used the economical beheading sword,
The American Indians used the stone-throwing gauntlet, 
The Spanish used the well-starched garrote, 
The Chinese used the ancient mind torture,
The Russians used bullet roulette, 
And, God uses mind self-mutilation.
