THEY JUST DON'T GET IT
by Timothy J. Muise

They just don't get it
their hatred blinds them all
Second chances are the only way
or else we are headed for a fall.

Hate the sin—not the man
a lesson so hard to sell.
Some of them say they get it
it is so very hard to tell.

To break men further
surely is not the way.
The price for our society
will be far too steep to pay.

The fact remains that they just can't see
what it takes for a man to break free.
Break his chains and bonds of evil
and allow the goodness in his heart to prevail.

They just don't get—these prison guards
from the inside out it eats them hard.
They die as surely as a victim of crime
Their flaws displayed unreal and sublime.

SHE LAUGHED
by Timothy J. Muise

She laughed from her heart
this fragile man fell apart.
