I couldn't
complete

the police
were system
I couldn't
comprehend

the judge
were justice

I gone for now.

Good metaphors here, Henry. People and institutions acting as concepts/machines without feeling it seems. No mercy for the soul who can't understand it and adapt. And so these souls come to a place none of us want to be. Commentary on our educational system most of all it seems. If we fail at that level, then how many youngsters will we lose? ~~Nordette

It is all tangled mess isn't it? And just because you think you are in the clear doesn't mean one is.
Interesting thoughts here Henry.
