A heart purged of love
might as well be stone.
A love that’s untrue
will grow old alone.
Stand up and plea . . .

shouldn’t bear a child
who’d be mean . . .
quite wicked and wild.
Stand up and plea . . .
do you hear me?
Are you guilty, as charged?
(silence--gavel pounded)
Let the sentence begin!
A body empty--
without any care--
can overwhelm us . . .
but would those things dare!
Stand up and plea . . .
do you hear me?
Are you guilty, as charged?
(silence--gavel pounded)
Let the sentence begin!
