Crossing a line

The doctors say he crossed a line –
A line on warning boards in woods
In which so many leopards live.

Policemen say he crossed a line –
A line of walkie talkie range,
Beyond which they couldn’t hear his call.

The rumours say he crossed a line –
A line in powdered contraband
The mafia had drawn with blood.
