Sense Sonnet - Chiller

Charles Manson

Charles Manson dead at 83,
In prison most of his life, and
Where he did die naturally,
Long symbol of an evil brand.
He led a murderous rampage,
Brutally killing innocent,
Writing a stained history page
Of a "helter skelter" event.
California did do away
With the death penalty, and so
To prison Manson went to stay.
Back to freedom he'd never go.

In death Charles Manson will live on,
Public fascination not gone.
