Death Penalty Poem by Baliboola N.ivan

Though there are those
Who live well while others are dead?
That’s not the appetite for you
To act like a murderer
But jail invites you through the police
Ask why handcuffed humans lament a lot
Hibernating views in society law books
I don’t have good words for you
It will not be long for you to be chased in our world

With hours, a judge bangs his hammer.
A country boss permits stamps your death ticket
As if you God does not want you to live any more
Sometimes it is by urinating bullets on you
While some wear you as a rope jacket
Others pour you by as rodents in headgears worn by convicts
My uncle told me sometimes injections used to breathe death
Why meet death by electricity slaps
There come those who sentenced to death by swimming in reptile pounds

It will not be long for you to be chased in our world
It’s simply a punishment that is half baked
No pension to reform convicts
But what about the deceased`s relatives
No life profit to relatives of death row convict boxed to death
Murder faces an expensive sin
Come heaven, why is forgiveness always deleted
Killing someone is not a price to drinking more human blood
Return the weighting scale to temples of justice
Governments must stop laughing legal murderers
It will not be long for you to be chased out of our world

Its time I capture your breath
To some height
A need is shorter
Humans were blown on earth not to die
People can change like clouds
Not like a cow that makes the same sound
In prison, one gets homesick
It will not be long for you to be chased out of our world
