Death Penalty “The Law Breakers Mall”

Understanding the public’s need for vengeance, the State has been given permission to commit murder,  

for crimes so hideous, they forfeit their right to live.  

suspending the “Fifth Commandant”, what else can we give?  

    

Taking their life is a gift, thus ending their sin and pain  

life in solitary confinement will better destroy all their gain  

and put an end the practice, of sanctioned murder by necessity  

as we hold the Fifth Commandant up to the world majestically  

   

***********  

   

The prison system needs changing, it’s much to easy to do time  

remove all the fancy amenities, “Hell!  They’ve committed a crime!”  

   

***********  

   

I know there’s the pressure from being locked-up and all  

with the worst of the worst neighbors  Why, it’s the Law Breakers Mall.”  

A law has been broken, a punishment now stands  

an all-expense-paid vacation complements of Uncle Sam  

    

Take away the TV’s, Radios, Weights and other toys  

we’re feeding and housing them, a vacation with the “boys”  

   

They are there to be punished, sentenced for committing a crime  

THE RULE:  “….if you break the law, you gun’na do hard time.”

Opening salvo aimed at a major problem modern society has made a complete mess of.  

The expensive and outrageous cost to put someone to death is completely unacceptable. 

We are giving the State permission to kill someone in our name. 

This is a slippery slope we should get off of immediately. 

The death penalty doesn’t deter the crime – a truth, 

spending the next 50+ years in solitary confinement might  

The death penalty exist as a relic of the past. 

Vengeance for obscene acts committed. 

True vengeance for law-breakers  

incarceration, strict confinement  

for a capital offense, solitary confinement  

Thinking we are a moral society  

yet with the same breath we sanction the ending a life  

We are, “…..laboring under a misconception.”  

and let’s not forget 

the murder … the killing 

is of one of our own 

Still, we say it’s “A-OK” to kill ‘em)”.  

  ………………..to be continued (if you can believe that)

About Sailor

Yup, it's me! The author of all you read here (except for the comments of course). Having been asked to write a short article for "About Yourself", I was forced to labor (for a moment-or-two), upon what eloquent words I might use to explain myself. ................................................................................................................ This simple thought process yielded an even simpler solution. You need but read the words I have published here. All the writings (except for the Comments), are copyrighted ©, the moment the "post" is digitized and made available to the world (WWW) by the servers at namecheap, the best Hosting service you'll ever need. http://www.namecheap.com?aff=15525 Please read: "Proprietary Rights". ............................................................................................................. Now, to continue with "About Me". I am sure you will find a few of my views embedded within my poems, and, if I would quit procrastinating, within the chapters of my future novels. .............................................................................................................. I would ask you all to subscribe to "RANDOM THOUGHTS"
