I cannot and will not shed a tear!

 Operation Valentine

© 2.15.15 Sherry Bach

 

For it's not up to you

Whether or not

Someone should go to hell

The judgment for that

Comes upon death

And you can never tell

I do know this

With what judgment you judge

Worse will come to you

So it's better to give

The benefit of the doubt

Of one's motives & intents you have no clue

The best you can do

Is guess at the reasons

And in some cases they may be true

But most of the time

We're wrong about people

The why's, the when's, the who's

So be careful how you judge

In fact, avoid it

Life has enough trouble without

Bringing condemnation

Onto yourself

You don't know what that person's about

This mantra, of course

Does not include

The savage beasts who kill

For no other reason

Than their hatred of freedom

And the gift of free will

Do with them

What you will

Eradicate them off the earth

They've gone too far

To come back now

To them life has no worth

Don't stop

Until it's done

Their message is very clear

For criminals who kill

Innocent people

I cannot and will not shed a tear

Some live for the future,
Others live in the past.
Will mankind ever achieve,
Peace at last.

Judge not, lest ye be judged, but when people kill innocents, that is hard to live by.

At a time of love and peace, Valentine's Day, you have written another kind of story… One of vengeance for vengeance's sake.

While I don't see the need for "an eye for an eye," I agree that hatred, no matter its source, needs to be eradicated. If that means that those haters need to die, so be it.
