Stones

[Codry]

He needs to disassociate.
His claim is that she has
committed adultery.
Before the pit is dug,
stones are gathered.
They are not meant to kill.

Who will cast the first stone,
the father or the brother?
Chosen to take her place,
the young girl is forced to watch,
life’s lessons must be taught.

When they close their eyes
Will the gritty taste of dirt
fill their mouth?
Lying in the dark, will they wonder
whose stone delivered the fatal blow?

For a senior member I was expecting a better one than this ... I have a problem with the fact that there are no capital letters used at every beginning(word) of the verse, the fact that it makes no sense why her father or brother "cast" the stones for her adultery or why is she chosen to take her place.. is there some incest going on? if the stones are not meant to kill why does it have to be a fatal blow? why would she wonder about their remorse after death (assuming there's no life afterwards)?
