why the death penalty?

A Poem by Luke Ritta
"

a poem about why do men kill other men.

"

Why the death penalty?

 

 

 

Why should a man take another mans life?

 

Why should one murder someone they have never met?

 

Why dose a man find it so easy to murder?

 

Why do the governments get away with mass killings?

 

Why are we, as humans the only animal on earth who knows that murder is wrong but continues murdering?

 

Why dose a wife stab her husband in his heart over a domestic argument?

 

Why live at all when a insane person could walk into your home and slice your jugular?

 

Why do soldiers find it so easy to put a bullet into another man’s head for no real reason?

 

Why are we happy, even in ecstatic when we see a gory murder in a horror movie?

 

Why should a man take another man’s life?

 

Why the death penalty?

Your question open the door to many more questions. I know about Soldiers. When I was thirty year old. I was the old man in my company. We sent young men with little life experience to make life and death choices. When anger and dangerous situation. Mistakes will be made. In the real world. Woman are killing their children and then their selves. Death is a option better then life. Our world is on a bad path. The Death penalty is a wide open topic. I tell people daily. What right do I have to say what religion is right. What right do I have to say gays are wrong? That should be between a person and his heart. I believe a man must stand before his God. Weight the good and bad. Not the decision of us on earth. Thank you for a outstanding poem.
