A crime is a crime no matter how you cut it, <br />A murder is a murder, a rape is a rape, <br />An assault is what it is, <br />A crime scene is a crime with the yellow tape. <br /> <br />If the prisons were to be abundant, <br />We can then send to jail all are convicted, <br />We don't have to pardon anyone out overcrowding and time off for good behavior, <br />We must send all the criminals that indicted, <br />Guilty as charged that is what should fuel our endeavor. <br /> <br />Are we really up to the cost? <br />Are we really up to taxation? <br />Are we saying we have lost? <br />Are we saying we'll pass another law, <br />such as hate crimes, <br />without a suitable explanation? <br /> <br />(11-20-2007)<br /><br />Joe Rosochacki<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-hate-the-thought-of-hate-crimes/
