Slay Not The Sinner

Rating: 5.0


Slay not the sinning horse,
Sins shall double the dose.
With all in-dwelling force
Do fight the sin of course.

However, a sinner must be punished too for the protection of our society. The root of the evil must be cut to prevent its growrh.

A brilliant poem with a meaningful message. One of the ten commandments is " thou shall not kill." Killing will just aggravate the situation and result to vicious cycle of violence. We shall promote life instead.
