Shoplifter Poem by nimal dunuhinga
Shoplifter
Police ran behind the thief
and caught him.
It looks very sad,
a deserter is holding a canned meat
and his name is Man.Dalmatian.
(nickname for the dark spots on his face) .
Who served half of his hard life
in the armed forces
and at last what he gained?
only the isolation!
it is a pity that one small sin can destroy a lifetime of service. Justice should be tempered with mercy, but so often is not. This is a very touching poem. Thank you for writing it. Warm regards, Sandra

who is to blame? the ppl that trained the soldiers or the soldiers for succumbing to a will that is not justified. compassion & discipline need to work both ways but so often theyre short-circuited. one or the other. interesting write, Sus.
