cruel and unusual punishment

Back in the day,when parents were allowed to spank their children as means of last resort,occasionally a mother would make a wayward child go outside and select a willowy branch which would be used to "switch" the naked legs.Having to select the instrument of your punishment was considered cruel and unusual punishment.Sometime this was pre-punishment as indicated by "And just you wait until your dad gets home".
I would alway get a Forsythia branch as the device of my cruel and unusual punishment.

Capital Punishment

The official and legal definition for the death penalty. It is usually the reward for most high-class felonies, such as first-degree murder, rape, etc. In the United States, it is usually carried out by means of lethal injection, but other places in the world still use methods such as firing squad, hanging, and electric chair. Some countries and states have been known to have banned the practice because of its gruesome nature.
In 2005, Stanley Tookie Williams, one of the founders of the Crips gang was awarded Capital Punishment for three counts of first degree murder and larceny. He's probably in hell now.

I killed my brother and he killed me. We spilled blood across the land. Killing in the name of religon.

Something the narrator doesnt understand. We are fools who ask the sheep when we go across the sea and ask them for their beliefs.

Does god tell you to kill? A divided country cannot stand I told them.

The disgrace I made is over now that my past has been erased The clear as a crystal end is near.

The main plan is not to look to Israel as the homelands might be Holy War.

On my base I know it like a scholar. Up high on my soapbox, Gavels leader in the seat of judgement Than-thou-could-be-messenger of the pulprit god.
