ZERO TOLERANCE
Kaleidoscope
“None will walk with their heads held high”
You are cast out, unprotected
But always under surveillance
In endless anticipation
Without release
And they’ll ignore all cries for help
Until you bear your teeth
Then it’s too late
Your youth is destroyed
Then you must be controlled, punished
And demeaned
They’ll lock you up
Or make you soldier
Or make you a ward of the state
It's their business to break your spirit
Until you do yourself away
They will sanction social death
In the name of security
“None will walk with their heads held high”
Their laws are drawn from blood
That they won’t see
