Amnesty
Total amnesty is absent
In this world
For heavy guilt and penalty
In front of law the fairness
Humanity and democracy
Total amnesty is only
In front of God
But God knows your sincerity
Your degree of repentance
Repentance is not
To escape from penalty
To escape from responsibility
To search for another chance
To repeat crime
Total amnesty is only
In front of God
But you have long discarded him
Betrayed him
Outcast his teachings
Total amnesty from God is only
For your heart and soul
You still have to face the world
The law and democracy
The penalty to some degree
