Criminals Poem by Beth Ann

What if all of us are criminals?
I wonder who decides that.
What gives them the right?

We all break rules.
We all break the laws.
Some of us get caught.
Some of us don't get caught.

We all could be criminals
and wouldn't even know it.
So maybe the ones who decide
are actually the criminals in disguise.

They wear the badge of honor.
And yet they'll shoot you in the back.
So they won't have to see your face.
And I know you would do the same.
