Foreign Laws: Sentences Long Harsh Fatal Poem by Terence George Craddock

harsh compared
to western home country laws
laws on drugs
can earn foreigners serious jail time
laws on religion
can earn foreigners severe jail time
discretion is said
to be the better part of valor

meaning it is better
to be careful cautious
than to drunk act
rashly violate laws dangerous
in some places overseas
mistakes can get you stoned

in some places overseas
words can get you stoned
martyrs are killed because
of religious or other beliefs

but at least we who choose
words know why we bleed
words can be a heavy weight
words drown bleed skin worn careless
