Cancel All Parole Boards 3
By
James Bredin

It sometimes seems as if we are all going to hell in a basket,
The murdered victim we knew was taken away in a casket,
The parole board monster bureaucracy might give information,
Of the murderer's distant hearing at their far away location.


They claim they are protecting us with vicious murderers and thieves,
As they release them from prison and demand that we believe,
And to hell with the victims of crime and their impact statements,
Trying to change the Parole Board's agenda for prisoner abatements.

The prisoner can move to the far end of the country at our expense,
In the ordinary world, this would make absolutely no sense,
As the Parole Board claims to contribute to our safety,
The contrast between them and reality is subtlety.
