• Paradox

Capital punishment had never worked
it serves as no deterrence.
What you show is that it's accepted to kills
as long as you choose the occurrence.

You can't claim that money is the issue this time
because it's cheaper to keep them alive.
What I see is an archaic society
consumed by a violent drive.

Violence is the enemy not the people you're keeping alive.
What I see is an archaic society consumed by a violent drive.

Kill a killer and you become a killer
because “that's what they deserve.”
When you kill a killer then you become the killer
and what purpose does that serve.
You kill and kill and kill again
so that people won't kill?

More die and die but it's a deterrent only in your blind eye.

Maybe we ought to study the killers (or you)
and see what drives the killing kind.
We could search for a way to prevent further death
but that would never cross your bloodthirsty mind.
Let it cross your mind
