We all saw it

We all heard it

We all read it

And smelled it.

 

Meanwhile Deedeepee is rotting in jail

For probably having committed a similar crime

Some do the crime and others don’t do the time

Similarly, some go to Heaven and others go to Hell.

 

The world smelled it

The world read it

The world heard it

And we saw it.

 

Some people are above the law

Some people are found to have no fault

Somewhere, God needs to tight the bolt

So all can hear the unwonted song of the crow.

 

No jail time, no fine and no probation

However, we all felt the humiliation

For God’s sake, an Honorable Christian like Jimmy

Would have never been in such a  gnarly quandary.

 

We all smelled it

We all read it

We all heard it

And the world saw it.

 

No further explanation

We wonder if justice was done

No further condemnation

History is always fair, just and fun.

 

The world heart it

The world read it

The world saw it

And we smelled it.
