Institutionalized murder
is what is preached
and we argue semantics
about the humaneness of the act
was he in pain
did we torture
or did he die
painlessly
we ignore the absurdity
of murdering one of our own
is it just retribution
or revenge
A debate that is ignored
who has the right to decide
who lives, who dies
murderers make that choice
So what separates us from them
we can argue semantics
and talk about humane practices
as we put another to death
yet somehow as a society
we fail to see the contradiction ...
-----------------------------
at the alter of their ego
a child died
his 40 pound charred body lies on the street
and they used a missile to kill him
and the bible thumpers screamed- more
and the koran thumpers screamed- jihad
and the gita thumpers screams - use a sword
yet they all they wanted was blood
blood of men
blood of women
blood of children
such was the blood lust
and they prayed
they fasted
they knelt
for their god
who has died in shame
