Three Strikes Fools: Punishment Overflowing Legislators Poem by Terence George Craddock

do the crime do the time
but where was the first crime
committed where was the original

origin point of this first crime
is a system hardened criminal
also a once innocent child victim

once an innocent defenceless child
was the recipient of cruelty horrific;

punishment overflowing,
healing can only blossom
in the light of a love gifted

a sea of human compassion
regenerating a soul pleading
for love in a dark black hole;
