Behind bars invisible In for crimes of love Betrayal and duplicity Convicted in the court of karma After a warp-speed trial By a jury of ex-lovers None of whom who smiled Sentenced without compassion Notwithstanding my denial
What about rehabilitation? A second chance? No appeal?
My past caught up with me I’d been on the lam a good while Evading the wake I’d left behind But you can only do that for so long
Contrition is my mission Supposedly it does me good So the chaplain says He’s from my hood An erstwhile Lothario Now sentenced along with me Our prayers unanswered Lost ships at sea
