I’ve Got Bad News, Good News, and State News. Which Would You Like to Hear First?

Setting aside crimes of passion,
when people commit crimes it’s either because
they think they can get away with it
or because they want to get caught
 
Either way, they’re guilty;
it’s just a matter of timing–
We call them convicts
 
When people don’t commit crimes
they don’t get away with
not getting caught
 
Having entered a plea of not guilty
they’ve been found guilty of nothing–
We call them neurotics
 
When sociopaths commit crimes
and get away with
getting caught
we call them supercriminals in our comic books
 
But in real life?-
We are guilty of calling it politics
