Poetic Justice

So the judge peered over his glasses
and gave a solemn stare
"The crimes you have committed
show you have no soul
I don't believe that prison
will ever change your ways
So my sentence to you is this:
You must read at least one poem
And write one every day
For one full year without break
If you do this thing for  me
you will not see me again
you will have no need
for you will be a happy man,
a good man, wise and true -
a better man indeed."
