the death penalty has to go



Death penalty has to go
It shouldn’t stay in our law
The law makers have no rights
To pass a law of death

These law makers don’t make lives
So, they don’t have the rights to end it
Even the judges shouldn’t tie their hands
In imposing a death sentence under the law

We can’t even have an eye for an eye
In the end what will our religions say?
Read the scriptures and know the results
It is better let the Maker decide

As long as we don’t create lives
We have no right to end a life in the law
The death penalty law must be canned for good
Let the guilty party stay in prison for life

Some may argue differently
They will seek an eye for eye
As Gandhi says we will be all blind
In the end we ask for God help

Don’t let darkness fall on us
We seek the light to be free
Don’t let our bad shadows win
We will lose our lives instead
