Reasons for Death Row

We kill you to avoid the
Possibility that you
Will kill again. We kill
You to avoid the hard
Choices. We kill you to
Avoid killing ourselves. We
Kill you to provide space.
We kill you to send a stern
Message. We kill you to
Avoid looking at ourselves
In the mirror. We kill you
To expedite your eternal
Burn in Hell. We kill you
Because God says we must
Kill you and we must not.

  I am anti-death row, but your poem hit a string. What a dilemma. I think the bible says "Thou shalt not kill". That means everybody. Your poem evoked a lot of emotion in me and so I give you credit for a well written piece. the only crtique I felt was the last line wasn't as explanitory as your other lines

  I'm really anti-death row too. It pretty much named off the reasons that why people kill in the death row. I found it a bit sad. Just thinking how people get the death row. IF they kill someone and we just kill them back, aren't you pretty much just as bad? Living in prision in a cell for the rest of your life is bad enough. Because at least the victims are in a place better or whatever. The last line
Because god says we must kill you and we must not. I dont really get it. But its the morning, maybe i'll get it later. The subject that you wrote about was really interesting. good job

  The problem with using the Bible is that it can be used for either side, yes you have 'Thou shalt not kill', but you also have the fact that as soon as Moses came down from the mountain he killed a ton of people for breaking the laws. God often threatened death as a punishment and never punished those who used it as the ultimate penalty.

I don't personally believe in the death penalty but then again I also don't believe in the British prison system. I believe that death is the easy way out and that the most pain that you can give someone is to lock them up for life with only their memories for company. To give them the most basic human rights and to actually punish them...not just get rid of them - that's too easy for both victim and govenment. It gets rid of the problem cases and ensures that the givernment doesn't have to spend money on peole that it is perfectly prepared to spend on warfare.

You can send a stern message without killing but only if your prisons are bad enough so that no one ever wants to go back. People get into the cycle of crime because at least in prison they have 3 square meals, a bed, a toilet and a roof over their head...plus rewards if good. You need to stop that by making the prison status harsher.

I really liked the line about looking in the mirror. That is true as hell. We can't cope with seeing the face of evil that so easily could be us under different circumstances.

Thanks for writing that, very interesting and gave me an excuse to rant!
