The Law Rider

The Law Rider The man who owns the night wears a badge it reads “sheriff department” and he also has a shining gun – starched uniform and stripes on his arms.- He patrols the streets where the huddled lives, those who are born losers and cannot escape as they have lost the ability to dream. The officer arrest a few as they are easy pray and educational undernourished… Handcuffs them and take them to a cell at the station, more fodder for the penal industrial complex. 15 teen years on the beat, loves his work, yet he has never solved a crime.

The real crime is the losers who cannot escape. and alas Officer Krumky cannot solve that. I love "teen years". Hard to take an 18 year old with pimples seriously. Sometimes I still have mine and lots of other things. love, Kathy
