Beware if you see me, great horrors may await.

Over where I run free, in me life runs straight.



Nick me open, a city's worth of traffic passes by.

Dressed in poems, especially when one is about to die.



So by me, men are made mortal.




What am I?

          People are terrified of the noose.




          Over where I run free, in me life runs straight.




          After flailing a bit, life leaves the body and it becomes limp and straight.




          Nick me open, a city's worth of traffic passes by.




          When the noose was traditionally brought out, city-wide gatherings would occur.




          Dressed in poems, especially when one is about to die.




          Most were asked if they had final words, this could be paying homage to that.




          So by me, men are made mortal.




          Men are definitely proven mortal by the noose.
