Wonderful to be seen
Criminals are so commonplace now
Terrible to be seen
The lyrics of P.O.G.O's song "Criminal" suggest that crimes and wrongdoing have become ubiquitous in society, and that we've grown so accustomed to them that they are no longer surprising. The opening lines seem to contrast the idea of witnessing miracles or wonder, which are typically rare and special events, to the commonness of criminal behavior. This juxtaposition highlights the disturbing nature of the prevalence of criminal behavior in society.
The next lines, "Terrible to be seen," implies a sense of shame or disgrace associated with criminal activity. The fact that it's no longer a surprise does not lessen the impact or damage that criminal acts have on society. The song suggests that criminal activity should not be normalized but rather seen as a significant problem that must be dealt with. The title "Criminal" suggests that the song is addressing anyone engaging in criminal activity rather than a specific crime or criminal.
