Stiff Upper L.I.P. - Empathy R.I.P.

Sentimentality…today on trial
Gently nostalgic…kindly smile
Pragmatism, obstinate judge
Folks kept sayin’…he won’t budge
Protocol followed…order was kept
Prosecutor smiled…Defendant wept
The State…wanted retaliation
Defense stressed…sweet inclination
Jury said Guilty!...No compassion distribution
Judge pronounced sentence…Death…by electrocution
America hardened…to the bone
The softhearted…weep alone
