Second Chance

I want to thank you
all of you
that said
10 yrs is too long.

I want to call you
all of you
who lobbied
For his early release.

I want to remind you
All of you
that said
He’s done his time, paid his debt to society.

I want to invite you
All of you
to the church
tomorrow at 10:30.

I want to show you
All of you
The cutting from today’s paper
With the headline; killer strikes again.

Then

I want to shake your hand
look into the eyes
all you that said
he could live in my village.

Then

Maybe all of you
Can explain to all of us
Why we’re at
the funeral of my daughter

Thank you
all of you
for giving him a second chance.

My daughter
obviously
In your eyes
Didn’t deserve one.
