Murder - Services By Bean Counter = Death In The Mall Poem by Paul Warren

We have services delivered under the auspices
Of the bean counters in their coin counting vices
When does it become more important to us
To let criminals and mental health sufferers out without fuss
So you have people walking the streets who are dangerous ones
When you see what happened in Melbourne should not have begun
When innocent people and children die so horribly on the street
Letting the driver out on bail not taking his meds is not a feat
That policy and government should hold their head in shame
So we have a car driving down a Mall killing people who's to blame?
