Insufficient Data Poem by Saiom Shriver

Insufficient Data



One was arrested and taken to the psych ward
for talking to himself.....
he had been rehearsing the lines for a play
in which he starred..
Another for indecent exposure... a diabetic...
he had looked for an alley for his frequent
urination problem.
A third for being drunk... when it was the
'antipsychotic' medication
which caused his shaking..
A 4th for loitering.. she had left her home
at 2am to escape a violent husband
A 5th for running away.... he was not
guilty... only afraid.

Sometimes the guilty truly are innocent. Beautifully written. Nice job!
