MAN'S
HUMANITY
They
say the death of one man
Diminishes
us all,
But
I have to wonder if that's
Really
the call.
When
people cry for executions
Then
cheer and shout,
Have
we not lost sight of what
Humanity
is about?
Do
we solve our problems by
Killing
some more,
When
killing is what we
Say
we abhor.
Can
we justify our pain and
Does
it feel more real,
By
sacrificing a poor few
Just
to prove our zeal.
Have
we cured the cancer
We
feel so deep,
By
injecting the poison
That
brings eternal sleep?
And
after we are sure
He
is deathly still,
We
then bury his body
Up
on Potter's Hill.
There
are no plaques to tell
Who
is in eternal slumber,
Just
a very small marker with
A
cold lonely number.

My name is Suzette Lambert. Richard Rossi is my cousin and dear friend.
