Nobody Breathes
Come down hard on repeat offenders
both in precincts and in communities
leave the tender buds to blossom
weed out the pretenders of peace.
but no matter the color or gender
some people will never blend
they're derelict and defective.
They need to be pruned
into an earthly rest
no more revolving doors
of rose colored
courts.
We need to skim the rot
from the pristine pond of our peace.
shock treatment...chlori-nation if you will
It'll irritate at first, but after a while
muddied waters will start to clear.
An open-ended amount of chances
for predators in communities and precincts
is a life sentence without the possibility of escape
for communities
THEN NOBODY BREATHES!
