Looks Can Fool You, 21

het·ero·nym

Noun: one of two or more homographs [words that are spelled the same]
that differ in pronunciation and meaning
(such as a bass voice and bass, a fish)
First Known Use: circa 1889

21: deliberate

The jury must deliberate
Decide the innocence or guilt.
So choose the hangman? Set a date?
And has the scaffold yet been built?

Deliberate, the killing was.
Cold-blooded, grim, and gruesome, too.
So we will execute the dude because
He looks to us, well, just like you.
