Confession
A sinner died sin-tainted
and reached judgment table
prosecutor read his sins
he was excellent in exams
before verdict, he told judge;
“I confess I did the job so well
I had majority of support
Hero I was among my people
Do not be sectarian
avoid prejudice
I too have my rights
while on earth alive
I performed so well
I worked so hard
I scored distinctions only
in every criminal activity
“My lord, make me a hero
give me gold medal.”
