A lesson taught

turning he says never again

rushing down the streets my friend

snatching away at an old ladies purse

his children are starving which is worse

coming to the corner the man stops

an officer is running are his thoughts

the sirens grow louder then ever before

sweating ,shirt soaked he hits the floor

staying hidden ,catching his breath

realizing this is life or death

they grab and take the purse away

when he gets home what will he say

no release, two years you will spend

gets out ,back in,kids hungry again

really interesting and well written, can't help but feel for him but also despise him for having children in the first place when he can't look after them through normal means. but such is life.. nothing is never normal.

so many are one paycheck away from realities they so dearly don't want to touch...
