Extreme! Poem by Barry Van Allen

Extreme!

Rating: 5.0


Some say that I'm extreme,
'Cause I think the one,
that fondled 8 year olds,
should lose his hands for that...
... once convicted!

They say I am extreme,
because I believe that those that rape a kid,
- - - once convicted,
should be shot!

They say that I'm extreme,
when I say that those convicted,
of raping children, kidnapping kids,
and then killing them - - -
... should be castrated, then tortured,
then held up to public ridicule,
then shot several times,
in their extremities,
and put to death by Gas! ! !

O.K.! - - - a bit extreme!
BUT, I like my method better,
than coddling the pedophiles,
... time after time,
... after time, after time!
and then setting them loose,
to do it again!

Prove to me that there's a cure!
Prove to anyone that there's a cure!
- - - I don't believe that you can do that!

I don't think we want to pay the freight,
to keep them housed in homes for them.
- - - We believe that murderers may still contribute,
to society one day.

Nobody waves the flag for them,
not even members of the worst gang,
that's why they're separate in the prison system,
and yet, we always let them go again.

First time... NO!
Second time... NO!
Three strikes and you're OUT!
- - - and I mean... REALLY ' OUT! '

I don't expect that to deter them,
and everyone knows what I mean,
only those that love a cancer,
would defend a thing that seems,
so out of reach!

Some say that I don't understand,
but, I know it in my gut,
... I have been taught what wrong means,
all my life...,
by some of the best of people in this world,
and I will deal with being called,
a man ' extreme ',
... if that is what it takes,
... to make things right!

Bravo! ! ! I think this sums up my thoughts on the subject quite nicely! ! Although...I still say that selective removal of body parts might be more fun! ! ! : -) Hugs, Dee

Being extreme is right if done to correct a system, but what if the system itself is the corruptor? Good thought, top marks.
