Forensic Genetics And The Law Poem by James McLain

Evidence of certainties without your consent,
do you disagree?
Envy of known predisposed illness seen.
Interpretations are only as good as what's shown.
Instinctively we desperate a degenerate,
where one rapes and kills a beautiful child.
While the next robs and kills a convienance store clerk.
When upon closer examination both,
have undersized prefrontal lobes damaged brains.
What if you knew in advance that your child,
would through genetics become the next Einstein.
But the mother drank and did drugs the entire,
time she was pregnant.
Did this individual have the ability to form premeditation,
to make a choice of right and what's wrong?
When the drinking and drugs caused the brain,
to never fully develop before birth.
Apples and oranges one says?
To take what is good then make it bad is not choice.
What do your genes say about a predilection,
to perhaps loose control of one's actions?
I like blue eyes I'm in control I say imprison,
the ones whom have brown.
Punishment when with predisposed knowledge,
having said knowledge in knowing his punishment known.
Wanting perfection at the cost of each person,
is not a better
well informed dicision that a lynch mob should make.
My greatest fear is the possibility that a person
with no interest in knowledge can vote.
