Poetic-Verses

'' Not The Perpetrators Of Crime ''

I caught a burglar in my home,
he was armed with a knife,
when I asked him why he just replied,
‘'you'd better not give me strife''.

I told him I would kill him,
if he refused to leave,
he looked at me and laughed then said,
‘' what will that achieve ‘'.

You'll leave my children orphaned,
upset a grieving wife,
she'll get criminal compensation,
because you've taken my life.

He said he'd claim it was all my fault,
for trying to get him nabbed,
because I'd threatened him with arrest,
that would justify me being stabbed.

At that I drew my firearm,
I warned him I would shoot,
but he just stood there laughing,
he didn't give a hoot.

H told me he would charge me,
if I did him any harm,
he said he'd also sue me,
for causing him alarm.

He pointed out that I was wrong,
for locking all my doors,
he said I was inconsiderate,
as break ins gave him sores.

Because he was classed as vulnerable,
he said he'd make the claim,
that I had been harassing him,
therefore I would get the blame.

I told him that I'd had enough,
I was going to call the police,
he laughed then said, ‘'go for it''
‘'it's me they will release''.

I looked at him and said, '' you're mad ''
he said that talk incites,
you've not only hurt my feelings now,
you've breached my human rights.

Just at that the police arrived,
he told them he was shattered,
he claimed I had assaulted him,
I'd left him bruised and battered.

He told the cops he was on drugs,
a method both tried and tested,
when he claimed I'd threatened him,
it was me that they arrested.

My home has been invaded,
while it's me who's suffering grief,
this bastard stands and laughs at me,
this is truly beyond belief.

As he walked away after being released,
he said he was full of elation,
I'd be hearing from his solicitor soon,
to claim for compensation.

He claimed not only would he win,
but I'd be paying his fee,
as he'd never worked a day in his life,
his solicitor was entirely free.

Our society is in meltdown now,
the victims are just forgotten,
while the criminals do just what they like,
to the core our system's rotten.

When will the Do Gooders realise,
these criminals are nothing but slime,
it's the innocents they should be protecting,
