Capital Punishment
Writing to Argue - Capital Punishment
Justice? Or simply revenge? Capital punishment is a horrendous and completely brutal punishment - an utterly barbaric way of society. Why educate the children of today’s modern world that an eye for an eye is appalling behaviour, however, allowing them to grow in communities where their teachings are lies? Hypocrites. The sickening miscarriage of justice. It is concealed away by the evil mask of the government. Statistics acquired show that 4 out of every 10 put to the death penalty have been found to be completely innocent. Think of this, but on a much larger scale. It means an innocent man is being stolen from his loved ones and been murdered by the government of our “civilised” society. Now, imagine you lived happily, with a family but one day you were put to death by people who you do not know. How would this make you feel? A theft of a life of happiness to be condemned into a cold cell, just waiting until the day your life comes to an end. Behind the thin, white, “innocent” veil of justice, lies a multitude of dark conspiracies, concealing away tales of revenge. I can hear you already. ‘What if the convict is, in fact, guilty?’ Do you personally think that telling a human being when their life ends can be morally justified? We say to ourselves on a daily basis that we are better than the cunning ploy of revenge. We say that an eye for an eye is morally incorrect. We say that no being on this so called “peaceful” Earth should play the powerful part of God. But why do we seek revenge? Why do we dish out brutal punishments, such as the death penalty, as they were nothing but useless scraps of paper? Why do we, people blinded and manipulated by the crimson light of revenge, think that we can play God? The bullet train of life can only end when its fuel runs out. And frankly, we cannot change that; we do not have the power. We live in a world where the precious and most sacred gift of human life is
