Sitting in the corner
Of a library,
The student was preparing
His assignment
With books piled
In front ….
When a uniformed gentleman
Caught his collar
And pulled him up ….
“You are a potential criminal
Dangerous to the society
And there is ample evidence
To punish you by detaining ……”
Before the puzzled student
Could recover
From the shock,
The man lifted a thick -covered book
From the pile
And put his finger
On the bold letters ….
“Crime and Punishment”
