the shrieking and begging for mercy.. the loud wet smack of the cane on bloody flesh.... the hooting and laughter of the excited crowd.. the shame of the criminal need to be shared..
Whippings are a bonding of people and social legal order.. without a audience the whipping is wasted...
Lots of people need to see what can happen to them for eating an F'n UN Fry in Public,... or why bother...
Spring and Fall to a young child
MARGARET are you grieving Over Goldengrove unleaving? Leaves, like the things of man, you With your fresh thoughts care for, can you? Ah! as the heart grows colder By and by, nor spare a sigh Through worlds of wanwood leafmeal lie. And yet you will weep and know why. Now no matter, child, the name Sorrow's springs are the same. Nor mouth had, no nor mind, expressed What heart heard of, ghost guessed: It is the blight of man was born for, Its margaret you mourn for.
