We must reject the idea that every time a law is broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his or her actions.
Ronald Reagan
Arrest the People
The brutal man takes his gun
Confronts the store clerk one on one
"Give me all the money you got"
But the store clerk didn't have a lot
He pushed the store clerk on the floor
Kicked his head and kicked some more
Shot him once between the eyes
Did this innocent man deserve to die?
Are we to blame for evil acts?
For lawless actions and disrespect?
Who do we attribute the bad in thee?
Is it home based or society?
Who is to be held accountable
For the actions of the contemptible?
Are we as a society
To blame in all entirety?
Arrest the people and jail them all
When on individual takes a fall
It's easy to blame society
And serve us all the penalty
