Let him live, don't grant him leave


Don't demand justice
That'll deplete your soul
Killing a killer
Who's rather a scapegoat
Is not your goal. 

Let him live in the ghettos
For next seventeen years
Let him go and stay
In the third world, 
If you want justice
Ask them to change some laws
That deprive you of your rights, 
That are wrongfully flawed;
For heaven's sake
Justice will be denied
If you let him die. 

You say no justice no peace
Peace is unconditional
If you know what it means. 

The police who killed, 
And his colleagues who didn't 
Prevent
Were all representatives
Of the state
Please have some sense. 
Now looking at the massive protest
The state will disown him
To display plastic justice
Will not let him breathe, 
But if you want justice
Let him serve, let him live
Don't spare him, don't let him leave. 

Dying is an easy exit
Given the chance and choice
Most of us would want 
To leave this troubled world
And heave a sigh of relief, 
Please listen to your inner voice
He deserves to serve in the ghettos
He needs to transform his beliefs.
