Reward and Punishment
Two hundred dollars to treasure
And praises one cannot measure
For your shows of Frustrated Men
And Robbers in Unhappy Den.
Swell Audience for your attention
And five-star hotel detention
For your soft tales of A Brother
And stories taken much farther…
But for your stabs of a mother
And acts of one who’d not bother
A charge of attempted murder:
Against your escape Sealed Border!
