In a world where torture is redefined for political need. Death penalty if mentioned garnese only lip service “yeah I am against it.” Wher can words like humane, fairness. Human rights stand? Where do you?
American enjoys it’s vengeance. The individual is unconsciously ignorant of the application of those high sounding words in their name.
Where were they? When I was shacked and chained. When a shotgun round was chambered the gun pointed at me trigger pulled, laughter when it only “clicked”. When a dog was commanded “attack!”. It strained at least end snarling barking snapping cms from me. When a Tazer was placed on me pretended triggered yelling “bzzzt!”
A friend opted for suicide, having sat in a cell walls of which he could touch alone day after day after week after month after year after decade 22 isolated hours of every day sanity mind self eroding away suffering then “help” of an appointed attorney more than happy to do the least possible not attempt to win only earn a pay check, forever delay.
It need not be this way. You can make a difference. Do you want to end the death penalty? Let no man’s life be taken unopposed. Make the state work and pay get and attorney who’ll fight to win. Perhaps you think it’s beyond you? Enlist friends, create a network….
Don’t write governors, the mottos better 10 guilty men go free than one innocent man go to prison. But for reasons you can imagine when faced with DNA proof of innocence, politicians are loath to release the innocent relaying on catchphrases he had his day in court, a jury of his peers convicted him…
The desire of these too few words?
A life contemplated. What do you believe? ACT ON THOSE.
Even to make one day stand out from the many before.
Write a letter, seek a friendship…. Anything. Let one man know no matter how many left and abandoned him someone somewhere sees the wheat through the chaff.
Make a difference in a life.
