ANOMIE

"There is no crime if there is no law..." But everything else could be in confusion We may let justice use its claw To halt the state of desolation Normlessness may bring disorganization We may have laws to guide our path But there's a need for decriminalization Of strange laws that could bring more wrath While there's pyramid, there's anarchy Let laws even the difference We're not in guild of monarchy So halt the system of preference Let bigotry have a vacation In the land of no return Let understanding have staycation Let every freeman have their fair turn Pick a title poetry contest 3rd place

Thank you very much... I was talking about anomie theory by Durkheim and the Latin maxim: "nullum crimen, nulla poena, sine lege."
