lovett listowell - POTENTIAL PRISONER

I was free as the butterfly
i enjoyed life like the stars, i saw pleasing
places, i conducted myself to avoid the hanging
troubles in the world.

I laugh at them, i see no pity in them
because i no they are murderers, armed
robbers and rapist.i was proud i am not
like them.
No sooner did i know, i am a potential prisoner.
My good heart, my sympathy for humanity lured
me to the bars.

The bars i knew house criminals
No sooner did i know, i am a potential prisoner.
I saw a short blue leans in tears what will make
a criminal cry? i asked.i never believe he was as
innocent as the dove.he shed tears that nobody
sees.i leaned beside him in pity, because he was
free as the bird in the sky.

Does he really deserves to be there?
Are those dubbed evil really evil?
Can one totally define what is wrong or right?
mmm! so the world can frown at anytime and
change it garment?
No sooner did i know, i am a potential prisoner.
Potential prisoner is you and me
What do we say about prisoners?
