Felony

FELONY

BANJI SEGUN (leaking_Penn)

It will pass, Yes, it will.
The Earth, the Heaven will pass
like shooting stars across the sky
what comes from the sky, scares not the Earth.
just little showers tingling her pores. 

Truth shall live long, long after death
in a thousand years journey, only now matters.
Then will come, to the Now, for Later is yet to come
Three siblings of the mother Time 

Emotions are felonies committed against one's world.
Ones repeatedly committed
despite jail time
An unrepentant sinner he is. 

the feel of the thought about its feelings gave joy
Its void plundered wide, puncturing deeply
pain filled the "Left", till twas all, that was left
lingering on like burn scar.

clothing the wound, pampering the pain
conjuring the hollowed laughter
crime the grout for this laceration
a felon caught in the act.
