Punish the object that is misused. Say
"This is why we can't have good things."
Abuse all the users of things themselves
that have by their use been declared unwell,
consigned to deep wells and garbage dumps -
regardless whose use was well and good!
Or whose use was ill.
Punish
the things
themselves.
This will show
how we're merciful,
how wise to judge
no one personally.
Just deprive us all,
deprive equally -
until all the things
we have ruled out sum
to an obstacle of such size
and weight, squeezing out
the life we would never kill.
Punish the things, not
the people we hate.
