Crime and Punishment

Crime and Punishment

A Poem by Sad Unc Days 3562

When someone commits a crime, they are punished. 
That's what we are taught.

But crimes exist in many forms.
Some hidden away. 
Some public, but "lawful".

Purposefully using one's own force against another

crime and punishment?
punishment IS crime
a self sustaining system of bullying

If crime is punished, then the punishment must be punished.
Or if crime is committed by the powers that be, if innocent people are killed on the streets, then heroes must emerge to punish it.
And are in turn punished.

An eye for an eye, and the whole world is blind.
