@Extelec@mstdn.social The poor and wretched don't escape If they conspire the law to break This must be so but they endure Those who conspire to make the law The law locks up the man or woman Who steals the goose from off the common And geese will still a common lack Till they go and steal it back

@Extelec@mstdn.social I bought this print many years ago at a charity auction. It hangs in my office where my students can see it. It sparks a lot of conversations. My memory is that the artist was working as a public defender or some similar capacity in NYC.
