Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Death Penalty Alternative

The death penalty, yes or no?

Such finality, maybe find

A place for criminals to go,

Stop this conflict in human mind.

A prison place not at all nice,

Just necessities while jailed there.

Wannabe bad ones might think twice,

Taking the chance of going where,

In order to pay for their keep,

They would have to labor as long

As sentenced, in the mines dug deep

For precious metals. Right or wrong?

Alternative could come quite soon,

Stick the found guilty on the moon.
