Cover the world in pink. There is proof that it calms violent criminals. Paint prisons and cells hot pink, dress guards and inmates in rose, magenta, cherry, and watermelon, and include forms of chocolate for de-stressing in all meals. High-quality chocolate will be delivered in box trucks painted fuchsia, their sides covered in displays of chocolate candy.

Daily, the prisoners wait dreamily for their afternoon treat: real cocoa, not Nestle or Swiss Miss, rather, rich chocolate higher than sixty percent, melted and mixed with a choice of milk, steamed and frothed, silky on their tongues, soothing their psyches. Kindness and compassion.

Dream in chocolate. Glide me to my heaven.

Chocolate in pink foils dispensed with morning eggs and toast and slipped next to sandwiches at lunch. Coffee is lightly laced with chocolate, easy on the digestive system.

Paint me a chocolate pardon. Melt my crimes away.
