The death penalty
Can somebody
Explain please
Why this is
Supposed to
Make sense to me
We know we get it wrong
And yet too many times
It is the same old song
Another innocent
Executed and gone
Tell me how
The hell
Is that justice
Is there something
Here I've missed
Because if you ask me
It just seems
Like insanity
To me
And to make matters worse
We still live in a world
Where the mentally insane
Who should be institutionalized
Are still executed
Even though
The powers that be
Say they aren't
I'm sorry
But this just lunacy
And is something
I will never stand for
Men are not angels or demons
Men are not angels or demons though they have the ability to imitate both.
We answer death with death, has been the world's way for almost all of time.
Bottom line; world's fucked up.
Long days and pleasant nights
