Unsheathe the final report, the digest of findings from the task force commission on is this really happening
A lot of cant about law and order
The daunting calculus of an enduring failure
What must be tolerated?
What does it take to mitigate disaster?
And how long?
How long to file a shiv arrogant enough to puncture the great trust?
Whether red tape inquiries or blue ribbon initiatives, the race to the bottom crowns everyone for their efforts
Skin the blubber on Walkerton and the Westray Mine and the muscle works are bleak
At bone: the pumping mantra of mala prohibita and the obituary is complete
One last goodbye to the spoils of failure
One last goodbye to the stock rewards
Regulations with the shelf life of milk and rye
And formal charges that of cut flowers
Argued into obsolescence
Interests valorized, benefits conferred
The race to the bottom yields avenues of success
But the race to the bottom is not without redress
The hounds will be along soon
One last goodbye to the spoils of failure
One last goodbye to the stock rewards
Here they come
Criminal justice fails in order to project a particular image of crime.
