Never kill!

Never kill
   – He who has betrayed you
– immobilize him and look him
   in the eye
that you might recall
   when he looked you
      – in the eye
and smiled
   and lied
      and …
so much more!
They say:
   All is fair!
      – in war … and love… –
But never kill
   that one who has
    sold you for silver
   – and then came
      – to kiss you!
