Interviewed

The Prison Guard:
Hey Preacher there's someone here to see you
A news reporter says he wants to do an interview
The Preacher:
Really are sure that's true?
The News Reporter:
Yes it's an article on opposing views of this war
I just got a few questions for you to answer
First off do you consider yourself a political prisoner?
The Preacher:
Politically no it's about the laws of Christ not man
The News Reporter:
What about your legal rights under ban?
The Preacher:
That outcome I still don't understand
How is it trespassing to talk to a neighbor
I just walked up to the door
And asked how he felt about the war
The News Reporter:
You didn't think you were crossing a boundary?
The Preacher:
How else do you catch your neighbor with a moment free?
The News Reporter:
So you were taking advantage of the opportunity?
The Preacher:
No more than anyone else trying to start a conversation
The News Reporter:
Well visiting time is over and I have another reservation
But tomorrow I'll come back so you can finish your explanation
