Best for Them

 

He’s only trying to earn a living.
He kidnaps for ransom and does

not really intend to kill anybody.
All he wants is a share of the spoils

of capitalism, golf club membership
and all that, he’s not any different

from a tax evader/land grabber.
He’s no different from you and me.

Don’t you try to earn a living your-
self? Don’t you hurt people some-

how just trying to get a share of
the one-upmanship steps that does

not intend to hurt anybody, hurts
some anyway but that’s the law

of crime, and capitalism is crime?
All of us have our kids for ransom:

threatening them daily with losing,
paying ourselves the luxury of their
        lives.
