Florida's First Electrocution Wasn't The Last

In Florida state prison, a tale I'll unfold, The first electrocution, a story untold. Anguish, pain, in chambers of despair, A prisoner's torment, his soul stripped bare. Electric currents surged through veins like fire, His body convulsed, his screams were ignored. The pain, relentless, coursing through his core, As death approached, its grip, he bore. Through darkness he traveled, his spirit confined, A prisoner of agony, cruel and unkind. Till finally, death's embrace offered reprieve, Release from the torment, forever to relieve. In Florida's history, a chilling page was turned, The first electrocution, a cruel lesson not yet learned. Yet the echoes of anguish forever remain, A reminder of his price the state still ignores.
