Moral dilemma.

Narrative verse

Moral dilemma.

 

 

My right to kill or not to kill

That is the question that I face.

I’m free to exercise my will

To take a life I can’t replace.

 

Does he deserve this punishment?

What has he done to earn this fate?

Did he transgress by accident?

and that is why I hesitate.

 

This man is a paedophile.

His guilt is proven beyond doubt

A creature so depraved and vile.

The world is better off without.

 

I take my duty seriously

I do that which I have to do.

I execute him painlessly.

This little tale might well be true.

 

It’s up to you, you must decide

If it is just a fantasy.

But would I have been justified

If it had been reality.
