Thou shalt not murder

It’s not okay to stab someone

It’s not okay to shoot them

But what if you put on a uniform and wave a flag? It’s not okay

What if someone ordered you to? Still not okay

It’s not okay to fly a plane and drop bombs on people

Press a button and send missiles to kill people hundreds of miles away? Not okay.

Why is this so hard to understand?

Thou shat not murder

This is not poetry

This is a cry against reality

Cold and hard and cruel

Thou shalt not murder
