A Life For A Life

The Government may be ruled by a dictator or elected democratically
But any Government with the death penalty in place seems autocratic to me
People should not be executed for whatever the crime
Such laws should not belong to an enlightened time
Though many with what I say may disagree
To take someone's life does seem awful to me
The death penalty is a wrong law I've said that before
I see it as murder that and nothing more
How can Governments with the death penalty in place say they are doing God's will
If Moses fifth commandment states 'thou shalt not kill'
The people who pass these laws to their God may pray
But theirs is a false worship it does seem that way
Let you without sin go and cast the first stone
A life for a life I for one don't condone.
