To A Juvenile Delinquent We’re your jailers The guards that hold you in You’re a menace to society That’s the most you’ve always been. You stole his purse Assaulted a man in rage You suffer for your actions now In this bare, disgusting cage. The dad you robbed helps foot the bill Of your extended stay The poor sod will never know He’s paid thrice for your moral decay. We punish to reform criminals So they will change and grow And serve society better Put on a decent show. So we place you in living hell Where you’ll spend your tortured days And we hope you take a lesson home That crime never really pays. We’ll starve you of comforts All warmth and loving care We’ll rob you of your dignity Hoping you’ll learn to share We’ll take away the things you love And you can rot in this hell hole Till the glint of hatred in your eyes Is replaced by gentleness of your soul. And we don’t forget your past misdeeds It gets harsher with successive crime We only want what’s best for you So you can keep on doing time. But we wonder why you never learn To love and then to give To be kind and compassionate as we all are To forget and forgive ?
