BEST NOT TO

Focus on
Rogues, scoundrels,
And cowards
Filling the
Gallery
When they should
Be in the
Docks or stocks
For only
Judges and
Not all of
Them have the
Wherewithal
To restrain
Criminals
Out for what
Lights them up
Against the
Gray backdrop
They would make
Of what is
Not like them
And that is
A vast mass
Of life force
Best spent on
Brighter days
Not beating
Heads against
Any dull
Wall more than
A first time
