To Promote A Provoking Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

What sense does the expense of it make,
To claim traps are set 'and' placed...
With hundreds of them permanently based.
But one mouse is allowed to escape,
To then proclaim this a crime and a shame...
That a threat can be traced with a finding to blame.

Aren't these traps set to catch predators?
With a monitoring done tested to protect.
For purposes to eliminate this fear 'suspected'?
To ensure the safety of everyone with effect.
Or are they just created to promote a provoking.
With the hopes fear becomes endeared at its best.
