The Prisoner

They released the prisoner Who was charged and found guilty of multiple charges Charge one-Abandonment Charge two- Fraud Charge three- Murder One, two and three of innocent hearts The prisoner had to be released Because the food that he was eating Was causing starvation for others He ate at their hearts and minds While he was warm They lacked cover Then one day they visited the one They had thrown into prison He was a pitiful sight And they realized why the Lord had risen To give them sight So they looked in their purses and pockets And found the keys To forgive and release the prisoner So that they could be free
