The Photo That Sealed Tsarnaev's Fate

There's a picture that's been circulating for a while

Of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev from the Boston Bombing trial.

First time that I saw it, looked my husband in the eye,

Said, that photo guarantees they'll sentence him to die.

In the picture Dzhokhar's lurking there behind a tree

Looking straight at Martin Richards' happy family.

That is when Tsarnaev, standing silent and alone,

Chose to target children - acting, solely, on his own.

I was spared the gory details jurors had to see

But, I bet that if you asked the courtroom, they'd agree;

That's the piece of evidence that sealed Tsarnaev's fate.

Killing children isn't something we will tolerate.
