It all makes sense now! Not!

From the murderer that kills for pleasure

to the thief that robs  with violence

to the mass shootings  by a maniac

who does it for joy....

 

when captured

they receive

a roof over their head

with three meals a day

free medical and dental,

television and an exercise yard

with no bills to pay and

anything you want

from the outside.

Meanwhile the victim's families

still suffer the loss for a lifetime

 working, paying taxes to house 

these poor soul's lifestyles.

It all makes sense now.

Give generously for society supports

crime not victims.

Crime pays while the homeless have nothing!

The wrongdoers say thanks,

it's so warm and homely inside!

Meanwhile dialogue in the streets.

I can get anything in from the outside.

Can I have a cigarette then?

What have you got?

Nothing!

Why you homeless bum just beat it

before I kick your a*s!

Welcome to Upside Down World! Show us your big guns and get a free ticket to all the rides...great poem and societal statement,Andrew. Prisons rarely reform- they are just another corrupt big business. On a lighter note, I wish you & yours most Happy Holidays!:)

hear hear sir...bravo ..straight talk spot on...some street dwellers get themselves thrown in jail when it gets cold out ..i like our guy in texas that built the tent camp in the desert .. gives peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch .. makes everyone work ..no TV ...no internet ..no air conditioning ..plenty of water to drink .. of course he has big critiques of this "terrible" treatment of criminals ... rrrrrrrrrrrrr >;{

haha yes the terrible treatment of criminals( poor things) yet their murderous crimes are not relevant. Criminals of today have got it so good, its better than being homeless. If I was homeless and suffering I would want to do a crime to be looked after in the inside! There is no deterrent if you commit a crime! Thanks E and merry Xmas!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU TOOOOOOO HO HO HO ;0
