Every Premeditated Killing of a Human Being Is MurderA Poem by Poet PittinixThe poem speaks out against capital punishment.Readers, is there really a difference
between capital punishment and murder? Let us examine the definition of
murder that we find in the encyclopaedia. Murder is defined as “the unlawful
premeditated killing of one human being by another.” The first thing to consider is that
laws cannot change reality; murder is murder. And laws cannot make killing wrong in
one situation and right in another. If a court established that a person
committed a premeditated killing of someone, No doubt, the jury would find the
person guilty of murder in the first degree. Judiciaries plan executions and states
plan wars, this is in fact premeditation. Anybody who plans to kill a human
being for any reason has a murderous intent. Some governments slyly attempt to
justify killing people by war and execution. International law regards the use of
chemical and biological weapons as unconventional What do the guileful lawmakers of the
world call lethal injection and gas chamber? Many countries have nuclear weapons
and deadly viruses to kill off humankind. Our leaders and their security forces
are the worse kinds of murderers in the world. They devise the most brutal ways to
kill people and they call this justice. Some wicked individuals claim that it is self-defence when they kill someone intentionally. Let us say someone made an attempt on
your life and you got the upper hand. You disarmed the person, and he or she
was at the mercy of your discretion. If you killed the person, it would be
cold-blooded murder, not self-defence. But if you killed an assailant to
protect your life, it would be an actual self-defence. Mankind does not know the mysteries
of life, and nobody will ever be able to create life. There is no difference between an
execution and any other deliberate killings. Nobody should take the life of
another no matter what crime the person committed. Abolish capital punishment because it
is revenge and murder, not justice. In my book, it is murder to think out
or plan to kill a human being and then do it. © 2024 Poet PittinixAuthor's Note
