A Convicted Felon

If you Google ‘a convicted felon' You'll find the name of a person Who's rich, popular and flamboyant You'll see his original mug shot Ladies and gentlemen, believe it or not As we speak, this felon is dying to be president Again, again, in order to avoid jail time As we know, if one is convicted of a serious crime One must obviously be arrested to do the time To pay for the criminal ills done against society Brothers and sisters, normally, once one is found guilty Of so many counts, one is handcuffed immediately And incarcerated to pay for the odious crime Such conviction is punishable by at least On year in prison and countless restrictions Including the loss of civil rights are on the list So far this person is treated differently: no actions Are imminent. This convicted felon is still free to roam The streets, the cities, the states and the Nation Like he is untouchable Like he is irreproachable And many wonder and ponder: When will he go to prison? P.S. This poem is dedicated to all innocent people who are now sitting in jail. The wrongfully convicted individuals must be released immediately.
