LONG JOURNEY TO CRIME
Hearts are broken bringing insecurity,
knowledge withheld brings ignorant naivety,
a very long road leads down to crime,
it takes a lot of battering to fall into grime.
Justice is very delicately woven,
the weak and gentle are often chosen,
through terrible torment they are broken down,
to be used as tools by a greedy clown.
A two edged sword cuts both ways,
it's not always what the written law says,
when crime is a result of previous neglect,
we have to look deeper into what to inspect.
To heal a disease you got to find its cause,
to treat the symptoms merely gives a pause,
when medication stops it flares up again,
repeating the cycle of stress and pain.
