Best Thou Shalt Not Kill Poems
Thou Shalt Not Kill
We think in a court of law . . .
Where the death sentence is being carried out
Use of the Holy Bible should never be allowed
For this breaks one of the Almighty Lord God’s
Moral imperatives in the Ten Commandments
Whereby, He declared: “Thou Shalt Not Kill.”
Our verdict on this subject is . . .
This action is certainly not a man-given right
To do such an immoral thing.
The very executors . . .
Of such a heinous sentence
Are no better than the
Monsters they kill,
But kill them they do.
We as human beings . . .
Truly must be better than this.
Or is this trait an indelible aspect of our psyche
And our collective Cosmic DNA?
Perhaps down the line . . .
God himself gives these particular sinners
A full taste of His Divine Redemption or His Divine Retribution.
His Choice.
The death penalty is not justice at all . . .
It’s just an easy way of getting rid of problems
And sweeping them conveniently under the rug.
Life is truly sacred . . .
“Thou Shalt Not Kill”
A timeless Christian virtue.
All of us, as thinking intelligent creatures . . .
Who inhabit this Earth
Should devoutly treasure this divine commandment.
Amen! Amen! Amen!

A crime against man.
Committing suicide
A crime against man.
Committing suicide
Attempted suicide...
On the other hand...
Not suicide
Therefore, suicide is a criminal act and an attempt is not.
Sense can find way by understanding that man is of intellectual supremacy.
Man who attempts suicide is not committing suicide.
Meaning that no crime is committed.
Grey areas persist.
Life is an opinionated subject.
Face your own facts and serve justice accordingly so.
This is the finely lined aspect.
People often make errors in judgment(s).
That being said.
All of this...
Suicide is a crime.
But, the prosecution rests its case as justice is served through such death.
Man is of supreme intellect.
An attempt at suicide is more often a cry for help than a criminal act to the likeness of actual; completed suicide.
Smart people would, and often do, succeed in their attempt(s) of stealing their own lives—in the successful (failure) of actual suicide.
Suicide is a crime.
A murder in fact...
Attempted suicide is given exemption of law due to such intellectual rationalization.
Realizing that suicide will happen if actuated with (ir)rational intellectual reticulation.
At the end of the day we can all rest assured with this next line to be true.
Thou shalt not kill...
Including you—

"Thou shall not kill"
Was etched in stone
High on a mountain top
As if God cracked
His funny bone
And no one heard it pop
We kill to eat
And not just meat
But weeds and insects, too
And no one grieves
For garden thieves
Who stop by for a chew
Our need for food
Fuels endless feud
Leaving us in a bind
To feed our brood
We must conclude
Mankind just isn't kind!
What amazes me
with all the religions
Christian Muslim and Hebrew
you all believe in the same God
All the cults
and all of the behaviours
throughout history
Your God came down
To the mountain
and personally wrote
the ten commandments
Thou shalt not kill
How is it that Catholics
have killed Protestant
Protestant has killed Catholic
history is riddled with violence
today's world is
riddled with violence
they say "we are better than you,
so we have a right to kill you"
Yet surely if God took the time
to write personally
the ten commandments
do the not apply
To all of your religions,
thou shalt not kill
Christian cults started up
people in texas brought guns
The Authorities moved in
we all know the history
A massive group of Christians
committed suicide
Killing themselves
If the leaders of your religion
want you to kill yourself
or somebody else
shouldn't you ask
what happened to
Thou shalt not kill
written by God himself
If every man
refused to pick up a gun
there would be no more wars
following the path of peace
Is a decision
you should make
within yourself
God himself wrote the words
Our Heavenly Father gave us this commandment
for a very good reason. Ever since Cain killed his
younger brother, Abel over an offering to the Lord,
violence has been rapidly accelerated. As we all
know, God destroyed the earth during Noah's time,
because of violence.
God instructed Noah and his family in Genesis
chapter nine after the flood. Genesis 9:6"Whoso
sheddth man's blood, by man shall his blood be
shed; for in the image of God made he man."
Clearly , then because we are created in his image,
God instructs us to respect human life.
Genesis chapter thirty-seven describes the Great
Plot. Because Jacob favored his son Joseph, his
elder brothers plotted to kill him. His brother, Reuben,
spared Joseph's life. Reuben planned to rescue
Joseph and restore him to their father. Joseph's
other brothers, however, sold Joseph to a band of
Ishmaelites on their way to Egypt.
*(Abraham's eldest son was Ishmael of the
flesh but not the promise. And Sarah's servant
woman was an Egyptian named Hagar,
Ishmael's mother.)
A modern court (of jurisprudence) would have
sentenced Joseph's brothers to a long prison
sentence for their plot against him. Even man's
justice pays a token homage to the commandment,"
"THOU SHALT NOT KILL."*( Is the sixth commandment
out of the TEN COMMANDMENTS.)
[ Many blue states and their sanctuary cities 'Have a
catch and release policy, especially for illegal
immigrants, regardless' of whether it is classified
as a Class A felony or not. ]
Those who commit murder shall not inherit the kingdom
of God. "For without are dogs, sorcerers and whore
mongers,and murders! The Love Verse, John 3:16
says," For God so loved the world, that he gave his only
Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
but have everlasting life."
