Someone commits a crime
Another one gets the blame.
Someone earns the dime
Another one pays for the same.
Someone hatch offences
Another one decapitates, falls.
Between
Someone’s guilt, annoyance and
Another one’s innocence, court-protocols
Someone indoors or outdoors
Appeal, lobby, chance, and these laws
Crimes, justice, and punishments
Sometimes another one the victim is.
I always believe that poems are mirrors and the reason people shy away from them is because they dont like what they see. A good poet always produces excellent mirrors and this one is definitely one of them. Showcasing the stink pool the society has become is also a pain since we realize we are also a part of it. You have done this well here. Keep writing and thank you so much for sharing this with me. With each of your works I learn something new.
