Killing Me Softly

 
If I shoot you in the face with a shot gun for being different
Guess what? – you die!

If I throw a grenade at you whilst you’re reading the paper
Guess what? – you die!

If I behead you with a double handed broadsword
Guess what? – you die!

If I knock you down in Tiananmen Square with a tank
Guess what? – you die!

If I drop an Napalm bomb on your family’s summer barbeque
Guess what? – you die!

If I mortar shell your bedroom while you’re gently sleeping
Guess what? – you die!

If I release nerve gas into your bathroom while you are taking a shower
Guess what? – you die!

When you’re dead, you’re dead
You can’t be more dead than dead
You cant be deader or the deadest
If I kill you, I can’t kill you more
I can kill you with chemicals or
I can kill you with kindness
Either way, I am still killing you
There is no such thing as killing somebody softly
Killing you morally is killing you
Killing you immorally is still killing you
You cannot take the moral high ground
If you are going to kill in response to killing
Killing is killing
Killers are killers
Death is death
