if someone has offended the polis

are there ways they can be marginalised

misdirected and prevented

especially from doing good

might others seek to entrap them

play on their vulnerabilities

and of course there may be how they weren’t believed

when they tried to explain

or when they tried to report the abuse experienced

in places that must never be distrusted

what are the effects/affects of disbelief

upon the abused?

or is it too easy just to think they must have deserved it?

I fear, the worst practices are part of what props up our polis

anyone that would say as much may of course already be lined up
