The act of policing is, in order to punish less often, to punish more severely.

The God should punish
God, will You punish for that sin
That I did when I was a child?
God, will You punish for that sin
That I did repeatedly?
God, will You punish for that sin
That I made someone do?
Yes, You must. Else you will spare
Those who have harmed me.

A Rat Cannot Defy a Cat
A king can punish; who will punish him?
His conscience perhaps, if kept intact.
The God can punish; but is not questioned
A rat cannot question a cat for its act.

God, You Punish Me With A Quiet And Love
god, you punish me with a quiet and love
many years i walked into your jungle
what a thorn piercing the foot
i always say love always
although the soil, earth, quiet trees always
you punish me with a quiet and love
there is a silence that hunting
do you love me?
this sort of question a child
that being withdrawn
but why do you punish me with love?
i was not able to recognize the crowd unless
otherwise a quiet way
hummed roar of water but you can not dam
from the hum of small water
high into the mountain
being a rustling in the valley
and the roar unstoppable
are there any you love me?
god, you punish me with a quiet and love
far on the hill there
you made me recognize a foreign path
make a return home, how ya?
but if i die; i die in love
and i want you to hug me
dharma on the leaves rustling in the woods
tears at all the creations
so what does it mean?
you punish me with a quiet and love.

A lot of people run a race to see who is fastest. I run to see who has the most guts, who can punish himself into exhausting pace, and then at the end, punish himself even more.

For if you suffer your people to be ill-educated, and their manners to be corrupted from their infancy, and then punish them for those crimes to which their first education disposed them, what else is to be concluded from this, but that you first make thieves and then punish them.

The Judge
Say of him what you please, but I know my child's failings.
I do not love him because he is good, but because he is my
little child.
How should you know how dear he can be when you try to weigh
his merits against his faults?
When I must punish him he becomes all the more a part of my
being.
When I cause his tears to come my heart weeps with him.
I alone have a right to blame and punish, for he only may
chastise who loves.

The Resistance is a moral certainty, not a poetic one. The true poet never uses words in order to punish someone. His judgment belongs to a creative order; it is not formulated as a prophetic scripture.

A lot of people run a race to see who is fastest. I run to see who has the most guts, who can punish himself into exhausting pace, and then at the end, punish himself even more. Nobody is going to win a 5,000 meter race after running an easy 2 miles. Not with me. If I lose forcing the pace all the way, well, at least I can live with myself.

Punish Me
Punish me
with the silence in your eyes
destroy every courage of my manliness, and
pour a gray liquid of long avoided thoughts
in my veins.
Punish me
with your acceptance of my sins
for I have mistaken so much
in this night,
when your eyes
blossom in silence.
Our system is the height of absurdity, since we treat the culprit both as a child, so as to have the right to punish him, and as an adult, in order to deny him consolation.

For Something Not Done
Mrs Sims, says little Jom
looking angelic and innocent
Yes? says Mrs Sims
looking strict and a bit wary
Would you punish me, Mrs Sims
for something I didn’t do?
Oh, of course not
says Mrs Sims,
looking kind and reassuring
That’s ridiculous
Teachers never punish students
for something students didn’t do
Oh, says little Jom
looking triumphant
I didn’t do my homework, Mrs Sims

Bestrafe Mich
Bestrafe mich
Stroh wird gold
Und gold wird stein
Deine grsse macht mich klein
Du darfst mein bestrafer sein
Ja
Der herrgott nimmt
Der herrgott gibt
Bestrafe mich
Bestrafe mich
Du meinst ja
Und ich denk nein
Schliess mich ein in dein gebet
Bevor der wind noch klter weht
Deine grsse macht mich klein
Du darfst mein bestrafer sein
Du darfst mein bestrafer sein
Deine grsse macht mich klein
Du darfst mein bestrafer sein
Deine grsse macht ihn klein
Du darfst meine strafe sein
Der herrgott nimmt
Der herrgott gibt
Doch gibt er nur dem
Den er auch liebt
Bestrafe mich

Punish me
Punish me
Straw is gold
And gold is stone
You are so big, make me small
Youre the master,
Make me crawl
The lord does give
The lord does take
Punish me
Punish me
You say yes
And I say no
Lock me in all you worship
Before the winds cold hand grips
You are so big, make me small
Youre the master, make me crawl
Youre the master, make me crawl
You are so big, make me small
Youre the master, make me crawl
Youre so big you make him small
You will punish me for all
The lord does give
The lord does take
Does he give love to
Those he forsakes?
Punish me )

Only A King Can…
Only a King can;
Declare himself omnipotent
Promote lies or alter truth
Change or ignore laws
Take, without asking
Violate personal privacy
Debauch his subjects
Imprison anyone
Order invasion/war
Order torture
Impose unjust taxation
Reward or punish anyone
Abdicate
“Hail the reign and abdication of King George”

In order to drill into young men the need to stay alert and stay alive, I used to punish offenders with my fists, boots and rifle butt, and with stockade time.

If a person commit a crime against you, have not the right to forgive him; but the law must punish him in order to prevent a repetition of that same crime by others, as the pain of the individual is unimportant beside the general welfare of the people.

Fury
Fury
You're so happy now
Burning a candle at both ends
Your self-loving soothes
And softens the blows you've invented
Breathe in deep, and cleanse away our sins
And we'll pray that there's no God
To punish us and make a fuss
Crack's healing up
Future soul forgive this mess
You wait twenty years
And wind up alone, demented
Breathe in deep, and cleanse away our sins
And we'll pray that there's no God
To punish us and make a fuss

Nature has pointed out a mixed kind of life as most suitable to the human race, and secretly admonished them to allow none of these biases to draw too much, so as to incapacitate them for other occupations and entertainments. Indulge your passion for science, says she, but let your science be human, and such as may have a direct reference to action and society. Abstruse thought and profound researches I prohibit, and will severely punish, by the pensive melancholy which they introduce, by the endless uncertainty in which they involve you, and by the cold reception which your pretended discoveries shall meet with, when communicated. Be a philosopher; but, amidst all your philosophy, be still a man.
