State Education Gone Awry?
State executions are a great success
Teaches citizens not to kill
Abysmally?
State arena power thrill
Like slapping and beating children
Teachs them not to beat and slap
Ideally?
Stop and think about that
Would stealing from people
Teach them not to rob and steal
Silly?
Many believe its a great idea.
Maybe even raping others
Teachs them not to abuse and rape
Really?
A horrible way to reeducate
Yet executions are a great success
Teaches citizens not to kill
Truly?
Political arena power thrill

Many Vets lose their way/purpose in life. Your new mission in life, the most important you will ever have, is to become a better father, husband, son and neighbor. It doesn't make you weak to become a better human being. You don't have to be one of the military statistics who either commit suicide or end up in prison.
