Why the torture, why the pain? <br />What on earth is there to gain? <br />By inflicting vicious evil thought <br />Even though it is all for naught <br />Venum spouts through clenched teeth <br />Demoralizing, burying underneath <br />Dehumanizing 'til the last bequeath. <br /> <br />Wrongdoing will not be tolerated <br />One will sooner or later be incarcerated <br />It will result in a prison term life-long <br />Or shortened life with needle injection <br />No time left for making correction <br />In one whose life had no direction <br />Satan instilled lies and deception. <br /> <br /> <br /> © Mel Patterson,1-29-11<br /><br />Carmela Patterson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/crime-and-punishment/
