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.
