Saw a pretty girl
in an office today
Her eyes were on fire
not sure what to say
Her probation officer sat
cradling the phone
Said, 'take her now,
she's not going home'
In violation she was
for disobeying the court
The cuff's went on
Her liberty cut short
So off she went
back to jail
Once again she'd tried
again she'd failed
Hard to stay clean
walk that straight line
Two steps forward
One behind
Aww..this is a sad situation. But you penned a great poem out of it! Nicely done!

Poignant poem; you obviously have a compassionate heart, and your words, so moving, have made me feel that compassion. Thank you for that; it is what humanity needs more of. Superb.
