We can never create a single life,
So we shouldn't have right to take it,
But what is going on all around a society,
Some psychotic man have been serial killer,
Some are killing people for so called revenge,
Some are killing as a victim of a situation,
Intentionally and unintentionally we are killing,
Now any one can say that for this we have laws,
But what is our law doing in the sake of justice?
Hanging a person, or electrocuting him on a chair,
In the name of painless death injecting poisons,
But are not these the way of killing a person?
Are not these the excuses to hide our failures?
This is us, Who give birth these sick murderers,
This is us, who let a man to be a killer,
Whatever that is, so called legal or illegal,
Are not these both killing processes sin?
Are not these bot about taking a life?
Can we say this justice a justice,
Which allows to take a life empowering a badge?
Think man...Humanity is crying in the door of justice...
Kafil: You write very well and leave most people wondering about a life for a life. God said to obey the law of the land, and when we don't we must be punished by the law of the land. Only God knows why we do these acts against each other. But over all a good write. Keep up the good work. Lynn
Fanastic job 10+++ kept it up Great thought and its all true
It's a very tricky question. Man in his unquenchable thirst for more always is up with something. It's an eye-opener. Why do people do what they do? There must be a logical reason somewhere.
i liked the poem...and i liked the last line so much...well done :)
Yap sir Bob, You are right, But my view is about the social negligence to grow up a man, No one is a born killer or murderer, We must suppress the social reasons that lead a man to a murder, Besides that we should make a change in our judicial systems too.All these combined tasks would reduce the moral disorientation of us and then we would judge a man properly as a murderer.Thanks sir for your valuable comment to share with us.
What say you about the murderer, who may have killed your wife what should be done to him, , free to take a life! how many lives is he allowed to take, ? before his time has come for protection of the species' this man must be hung food for thought Kafil
