Criminals Drink Water

Criminals Drink Water

A Poem by Earl Schumacker
"

The crime of water consumption

"
All criminals drink water
Therefore they are guilty
The proof is in the wetness
In the weather, in the pleasure 
In the drinking, in the thinking
Which way the wind blows 
As long as it is in a westerly direction 

People who drink water are bad
Criminals drink water down 
To the last drop in the bucket
Let he or she without sin cast
The first glass at the victim

Let the guillotine begin again
As in the old days of pleasure
Let each head roll down the path
Less parched than thirsty for truth
More interested in blood than love

Let the party begin with water
To each his own when consumed 
Criminals drink without thinking
There are consequences for all actions
Reason not being among or one of them
