abolition haiku and limerick - poems 55 and 56

an abolition
is perhaps the final word 
sometimes not the end

for some great evil, "abolition!" cries the angry crowd
pomp and circumstance with fiery speeches read aloud
but in their zest they forgot their plans contain a certain fatal flaw
which is that changing minds takes more than just changing the law
for some care less about justice and more about feeling proud
