Every Premeditated Killing of a Human Being Is Murder

Every Premeditated Killing of a Human Being Is Murder

A Poem by Poet Pittinix
"

The 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.
