What would you do if you had knew when you were to die?

Now its too late to apologize

Crime is wrong but two wrongs don’t make a right

What are we teaching if we kill for killing?


But worse than that, 

We blame the innocent. 

Kill those who did nothing.

The poor who got blamed by mistake?

The one who was there at the wrong time?

The Black man just because he’s Black? 

 

Killing a killer doesn’t bring someone back

Killing a killer only kills again

Killing a killer doesn’t put the lives of the families on track

Killing a killer hurts everyone

 

Race and income determines who lives and who dies

When can there be more held to a life

Then the amount a lawyer gets paid? 


Its not even good for the citizens

It’s costing us millions to kill 


This doesn’t end the crimes committed

Do we just blame someone for having a mental illness?

Or acting on a moment’s decision? 

For not doing  anything at all


Killing a killer doesn’t bring someone back

Killing a killer only kills again

Killing a killer doesn’t put the lives of the families on track

Killing a killer hurts everyone


Killing a killer often results in the wrong man accused


Against nearly every religion

And every moral value 

Without morals we’re not human

And what about the man who holds the execution?


What does that do to him or her?

You’re taking a life

You’re taking a life of a man who is begging for mercy

And you do it anyway


Killing a killer doesn’t bring someone back

Killing a killer only kills again

Killing a killer doesn’t put the lives of the families on track

Killing a killer hurts everyone


Thirty out of fifty is too many states 

Too many states to kill for crimes

Firing Squad in Utah

Lethal Gas in two other States

Electrocution in the rest


We can’t expect murder to end

If we endorse it
