Death Penalty Poem by Jess Terry

'Life for a life' she snarls,
eyes burning in flame,
'That's still a murder,
not some pawn in a game'
The voices of passion,
The eyes feverishly sane,
The patron saint of life,
The unforgiving saint of pain,
'Death to those who deserve it'
clenched jaw,
'That only hurts more in pain'
emotions raw
Death penalty argument,
across the english class,
'What do you think? ' pointing finger,
'I think I'll Pass'
