Preventative Measures Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Preventative measures,
Put in place still will not stop...
Those testing barriers.
And when barriers like this,
Become broken to dismiss...
Always a professing of innocence,
Leave the ones who have set limits...
Left scrutinized, demeaned and punished.

Preventative measures created to protect,
Eventually become suspect to protest...
When someone begins to detest,
Rules to obey and in full display.
They will neither follow or swallow the facts.
With a choice they have made,
To prove they are entitled to start conflicts.
And at the expense of others who pay.
