Murder

You don’t condone murder,

although you know it happens.

Sometimes the need outweighs

what you believe. And suicide

is not an option, That kind of

murdering oneself you have

been told will send you straight

to hell. This is not the way you

wish to spend eternity. Some

folks, the really bad ones, say

those who kill indiscriminately

deserve to die. You have known

some of these loathsome folks

in your life, but murder? Perhaps

killing, just a little or only one

time would be justified. All of us

have a particular someone in mind.

But wait, heaven for you seems a

far better place to spend your time.

Killing in war doesn’t really count,

does it?
