Harboured for years
among his own kind
the object of the
largest manhunt
ever conducted by
the FBI of the USA
but tripped up
by two honest
citizens and
later on an off duty
police officer
now jailed for
four life terms
the question
was justice served
this jailbird
will sing every
day his song
of hate, intolerance
his celebrity
status insures
his every word
and thought will
be transmitted
to the furthest
corner of the world
his mere
burp after supper
will drown out
the voices
of one hundred thousand
ordinary people
who witness
for love
who pray
for peace.
