Nations With The Death Penalty

Nations with the death penalty in place have nothing to feel proud of
Such Governements sadly lacking in humanity
Any Government that condone such a practice are not human rights friendly
No matter who they are it would seem to me.

People who commit heinous crimes have a right to their own lives
A life for a life seems a barbaric way
Of behaving towards another human being
They should be kept in prison until their death day.

Governments with the death penalty in place may boast of their goodness
They see a human life for a life as a cleansing thing,
Than the person they are executing they are not any better
And the praises of such a practice we ought not to sing.

People with the death penalty in place may think they have freedom
But a basic human right to some citizens is denied
The right to die in a natural manner
This should not be a cause for National pride.
