The lack of enforced discipline. <br />Is where our troubles all begin. <br />The evidence is plain to see. <br />Things are not as they ought to be <br /> <br />Some legal technicality <br />allows the guilty to go free. <br />They thus evade due punishment <br /> although they are not innocent. <br /> <br />It’s much the same in homes and schools <br />Where children disobey the rules. <br />Without regard to consequence <br /> because they see no evidence. <br /> <br /> They will be chastised in due course. <br />There is no point in having laws <br />which aren’t enforced impartially. <br />Applied to all men equally. <br /> <br />A civilised society <br /> which fails to enforce it’s own laws. <br />Will slide into sheer anarchy. <br />The lack of discipline the cause. <br /> <br />The time has come: We must review <br /> exactly what the law should do. <br /> To deter those who break the rules <br />If we do not then we are fools. <br /> <br />08/10/2009 <br />http: // blog.myspace.com/poeticpiers<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/taking-liberties-too-far/
