JIMMY IS LEAVING TODAY

Jimmy is leaving today,
We don't know where he is going
To death or to life, to freedom or to jail?

One of the 'Hang-Man' had read his name from the book
In a tense and casual tone.
He knows it is his fate,
He had admitted that it is too late...

Jimmy is leaving today,
To stand before 'holy Potentates' in judgement,
To watch decayed faces castigate crimes they are better 'Guilts'.

He had been broken by sticks and stones,
Tortured, beaten, tormented for 'The Worst Crime in the World'
And the worst crime in the world surprisingly is Poverty.

Jimmy is leaving today after being betrayed by life
And blessed with ill-luck and misfortunes...
His wife had sold his child to salvage him from sickness and death
without his consent and the police was informed.

Now this is crime - True Love
This is crime - Survival
This is crime - Poverty.

Jimmy is leaving today,
we don't know where he is going
But we know he is leaving because he had no money to give to the IPO
Jimmy is leaving because of poverty
He is leaving because of injustice
He is leaving because of man's hatred towards man
He is leaving because of the court's exaggeration of the law
He is leaving because the law was made against the poor
He is leaving for worse.

The court is no doubt a microcosm of the nation
The police twin brother to corruption.
Is crime Jimmy's wife saving her husband's life
Or the police making 'Bail free'?
Is the prison made only for the poor
Or the rotten pulpit of the judiciary made for the needy?

'Public ants'! You break into peoples houses to steal
With pens for weapons
Deceit and designation for hammers and thistles
Yet you hang the gunmen your colleagues, your partner in crime
How different art thou?
Traitors! Newline your schemes....
