Gass Chamber
the bones are the first to know, they hum a low dirge, like a bass line in a dying bar, deep under the skin’s slow retreat. blood stumbles in the corridors, loses its way in the veins, tries to remember where it used to go. the heart? it forgets the beat, like a drunk forgetting the name of the woman he once begged for. lungs collapse...

Premium Member Musing on the Death Penalty
A double murderer Shot before a firing squad Justice or revenge? An eye for an eye So, the old law book conveys Punishment for sin Society’s way To rid town square of wrongs Yet, death row awaits The hangman stands by The masses don’t know his name Pulls the trap door latch The cycle repeats With no real decrease in crime No one ever wins Justice will make...

Premium Member Ironic
Why oh why not commit suicide Rather than unalive other people There is a blackness in a heart To do such a thing for any reason Of course one must be disturbed But that seems like a whimsical word For such a despicable human Old enough to premeditate murder A photo and we see skin hair eyes Blessed to...

Abolishing the Death Penalty: A Case for Humanity
The death penalty, a practice rooted in antiquity, continues to evoke controversy and ethical dilemmas in modern society. Despite its purported role in deterring crime and administering justice, the death penalty stands on shaky moral ground and should be abolished for several compelling reasons. Firstly, the irreversible nature of the death penalty is inherently flawed. In...

Premium Member Life in the Penalty Box
The course of life is like a game, that many play for wealth and fame. The rate of play can be so fast, that many players do not last. Millions fall in the game of life, through causes that are all too rife. Many have keeled over and died, while others have been laid aside. Some are sidelined because they are ill, and cannot...

Premium Member Corrupt Judges Are Alive, Breathing and Mooching
There are words that I want to say to the corrupt judges But I am too civilized and decent to put them on paper Most judges in this mess have their brain on crutches They collude with double-dealing lawyers who beg for favor The system is illogical, arbitrary, unjust, unfair and impartial Justice once existed in the Bible. These days,...

Penalty After the Final Whistle
Hope goes off, Grace sets in. Time says bye, Heaven comes near. Flood parades trough; Looming mistakes chagrin... Courage don't cry, Hasten hearts cheer. Mind heave sigh, Late warning waves. Goodbye draw closer, Fearful lost night. Complain moves nigh, Fans digging graves. Even the grocer- "Formation isn't right." Everyone with ideas, Of his own. The coach's wrong Formation...

Total amnesty is absent In this world For heavy guilt and penalty In front of law the fairness Humanity and democracy Total amnesty is only In front of God But God knows your sincerity Your degree of repentance Repentance is not To escape from penalty To escape from responsibility To search for another chance To repeat crime Total amnesty is only In front of God But you...

Winning a Semi Through a Missed Penalty
When England play semi finals they tend to draw, losing on penalties to teams who score more, someone will miss one of that we are sure, repeating the fate of the England before, The tale of the shoot out we've had to endure, in extra time last night Harry Kane didn't score, but the rebound he did...

Premium Member Pay the Purple Pencil Penalty Please
There is a penalty for purple pencils, the puffed up penguin said. Not this morning! I yelled to my muse as this danced in my head. She is fierce and mighty, a pirate queen, so she flung me out of bed. I laid there forever, hoping she would leave, as I promptly played dead....

Penalty
It only made sense to me- like I only wade in destiny, like I only drink very dark tea, on summer mornings when they are scorching... It only made sense to me, like it's scoring the dividers detracting O' tall and torry, at the worried hello sojourning, ...of a next year's encouraged deuteronomy, and the slots spell perfectly like I am optionally twerking tangents and...
