Death Penalty

The expression, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
seems to apply in some cases it seems to be "alright".
what about a life for a life?
how do the rules change then?
there is no real difference metaphorically.
nobody has the right to decide whether you live or die.
whoever breaks those rules, often suffer a consequence.
a hypocrite for a hypocrite.
someone who doesn't fully understand what something is,
someone who makes up their mind before they know the whole truth.
where does all this hate start?
the real question is, where does it end?

Good point Sierra. This makes me think of the death penelity. I'm not sure if that's what you were hinting towards as well, but it brings up a good point.
