colluding with thieves
and criminal gangs
courtroom dramas
about murder conspiracies
drugs and pornography
greed, avarice,
totalitarian regimes
and despotic gentlemen
good people who watch
the passing traffic
begging in town for a crust
of a sandwich
and seeking the truth!
about the world inhabited by our minds'
knowing the heart of a beautiful wife
talk of children, when we meet
confusion about my role in this
gateway's closing behind with a slam
the future of my heart
weighs in the balance.
Lord please help me!
i beg of you the truth
rest my hearts' volition
the couple have no right to accuse
i have no need to regret this
i am more than certain i haven't lied
so rest my pityful condition
i don't deserve to die.
