[the Writing of Kuypers] [JanetKuypers.com] [Bio] [Poems] [Prose]
What do we tell our youth
What does it say of us What does it say of our self-esteem
What does it say of our media
Dear What rights do we really take away
I hope you’re not suffering too much
Richard Speck, convicted of killing
When a menber of society commits a crime
in theory
One man in prison filed a lawsuit
What do we say to all of this
What do we say
when we let them out on probation
for violent crimes
because there’s no room in our jails
when a painting of a clown
by John Wayne Gasey
sells for millions
when hundreds of women write letters
to Charles Manson
asking for his hand in marriage
when it glorifies these
dark heroes
Hero
I want to know how your mind works
I want to know why you did it
I want to know how you feel about politics
and love
and marriage
I hope you’re not suffering too much
I love you
from those who take our rights from us?
eight nurses, was videotaped in his
prison cell by cell mates with his
male lover, counting hundred
dollar bills, snorting mounds of
cocaine,
showing off his hormonally-
induced shapely breasts
they relinquish the rights
they have taken from others
against the state
for serving peas to him too many
days in a row
One man in prison filed a lawsuit
against Ann Landers
because she published his letter
where he wrote he killed his wife
One man in prison filed lawsuit
after lawsuit against the state
solely because he felt a great joy
in uselessly spending
the taxpayers’ money
What do we say?
