(A poem) Guilty before trial?

by A. Palmer

The police have found me guilty and i

haven't gone to trial yet,

but they spread propoganda on T.V. & internet

Dem a beat it in the people's mind

that i'm guilty and deserve death,

but the public knows how the police

operate, so mi nah fret.

So many people in court for allegedly

taking 4, 5, 6 pickney life,

So how they don't discuss that on

'CVM at sunrise'?

Allegations of extrajudicial killings

by security forces have already been issue,

but i've never seen them on t.v. so

much, talking about that, did you?

Me never kill nobody yet

but they say my music breeds crime,

that's why they're on my case they

want me imprisoned long time.

I am an artiste so i know things

will make the news,

but don't crusade this ungodly way to

distort peoples views.

Mi swear my innocence before all

mankind and God,

why would i risk going to jail Leaving

behind 7 children, after mi nuh mad.

I am not the first man

The romans soldiers have sacrificed,

like me, that man was not guilty

That man was Jesus Christ.
