HYPOCRISY

POEM

Fed up with the archaic laws

followed by some countries

across the world,

it is unfortunate that

the latter nations

continue to stick to the

despicable, cruel and ruthless practice

of awarding capital punishment

to the convicted criminals

without an iota of remorse and repentance.

True, the malevolent

dictators haven’t any

qualms in sentencing

the convicts to death

by beheading them in public

or stoning to death that too

in the presence of

the public or hanging

to death before a

mob to sow the

seeds of terror among them.

No wonder, these rulers

follow the horrible practice

but it is a shocking

practice which sends

chills down one’s spine.

When the developed nations

in all fields

providing care, protection,

education, health care,

employment etc etc.

These so-called democratic nations

by putting the

convicts to death

through lethal injections despite angry

reactions by those in some parts

of countries across the world

and even the citizens

of the developed nations

respond in anger for following

the acts of the government.

By preaching from atop the world

the priceless values of love, kindness, morals and ethics

human rights they immerse in

brutally punishing the convicts…….
