Capital Punishment
Capital Punishment, a perverse way
To execute one's moral beliefs
It runs counter to those who pray
Who espouse forgiveness relief
"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth"
A concept ill-used to avenge
Killing is murder, and that's a raw truth
Why this need for revenge?
It sinks to the criminal level
A depth morality eschews
The death penalty, more attuned for the devil
No moral society should choose
