In an upside-down garden

I was asked a couple of questions,
to decide where my faith lie.
And to some of the questions,
I answered with a why?
Do you support abortion?
No I can't say I do.
Or assisted suicide?
No I don't, do you?
Capitol punishment was involved,
in another question asked,
and that one made me think a little,
and remember the past.
I didn't apporve of the electric chair,
but I guess that now I do,
And if what I've expirenced happened to you,
I think that you would to.
For how can someone take the life,
of someone so dearly loved,
without being punished,
while she watches from above.
I don't believe in fighting,
but it happens anyway,
and if I thought it would help the world,
I would take all weapons away.
But there will always be some questions,
that will be answered with a why>
and the biggest one of those right now,
is why did you have to die????

----------------------------------------------------
This is for Jesica. And I guess this poem is true.
(And Justin wonders why I laugh at him when he says his life is tough. And the only reason he says that is because he has to work.)Oh Well, bye

I like how you wrote this poem, setting up some of your beliefs and then telling why you feel that way.  I can't say I believe in the use of the death penalty, but I have never had anyone close to me be murdered, and that was your point, that if that happens than you just might change you view on things.  ...and i got your email but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to reply to that email address or go through your friends that you sent a while back???  Anyway, good poem

Allysa,
  Great poem.  I really liked it, I think that it goes with my personality very well, and sometimes I have to just take a moment and think about what I really believe in.  Keep up the great work.

Allysa --- sup with the angry face?  

Hey, this probably is one of the best poems you've ever written.  That's my opinion at least.  One thing though, I do not believe in the death sentence......There is this husband and wife in the news one time.  This married couple stuck out in my mind when i read your poem because all their 2 kids was killed by some killer i suppose.  The thing is they made sure to tell the prosecutor and the judge that they don't want him to get a death sentence cause that's against their belief.  Imagine that, the amount of pain they are going thru, they are still true to their faith.....thing about that

I see no changes, wake up in the morning I ask myself, "Is life worth living or should I blast myself" TUPAC SHAKUR

acire: the reason I want the killer (I can't even write his name) to die is because Jesica was such a sweet person and he hurt so many people when he killed her, her mother, and her brother's father, and he's trying to plead mental insanity but he even rented a car before hand b/c the ppl in the neighborhood knew what his car looked like.

Allysa,
I'm really speachless, I think I've read this poem like everyday since you posted it, but I really didn't want to reply. I mean I think that this is a very heartfelt subject for you, obviously it is, and I'm not sure about saying anything 'cause I might hurt your feelings or say something wrong. Well, I just wanted to let you know that anytime you need to talk, I'm here and please don't hesitate in giving me a message.
Your friend,
Caz
