Mr. Campbell's final journey
Realities rivers rage with turbulence at the banks of the man's heart, as he embarks on a journey to redemption.
He does not take this endeavor lightly; on bended knees he prays with clapped hands nightly, asking for forgiveness for a trouble soul in need of repair, a final recitation of his thoughts, a pause then a vacant stare.
He takes one footstep forward, a naked man his feet are bear.
He gets dressed one last time and eats the last meal that's been prepared,then the guards and a priest lead Mr. Campbell from his cell.
He says a silent prayer as they strap him into the electric chair.
Realities Rivers which once raged with turbulence at the banks of the man's heart are now calm; as he journey to redemption.

Hm, indeed mostly suggestions of rhyming, a loose alliteration.
On second view the poem's not improving...
it.
A few line edits:
Reality's rivers
clasped hands
troubled soul
as he journeys
So, this guy did something bad enough to get the chair for it and he's going to heaven...I'll never understand Christianity..you get to do whatever you want to do, and as long as you say you're sorry, you still get to go to heaven. YAHOO
