It was a trap. But then, of course it was.
He'd warned them of the fact a hundred times.
They didn't listen, but nobody does,
So he was not surprised. A thousand crimes
Could be committed safely if he were
The sole protector of legality,
Because although he'd know they would occur,
No one would listen. He thought it would be
A sheer delight if anybody heard
A single warning, and attended to
The meaning he intended in the word.
Yet when it came, he floundered. For he knew
That crying wolf, when wolves are really there,
Just gets you blame. Nobody said it's fair.
