The Price of a Life

A man, just like any other

Raped and murdered a child

He hid her body in the woods

Some hunter found her

They found this man, just like any other

His peers found him guilty

For what he did to the little girl

Now what should be this man’s punishment?

Do we as his peers

Have the right to take away his life?

If we do won’t we be committing part of the same crime?

Do we have this power

To take a life?

Tell me

What is the price of a life?

He’s a falliable man

Just like any other

His crime was horrible

But do we deserve to merit out

That type of justice?

Tell me

What is the price of a life?
