Repentance

When a man murdered three innocent people, he got life without parole.
After he was locked up, something was missing in his life, he wasn't whole.
If you're wondering what was missing, I'll give you a hint.
He turned to a higher power because he decided to repent.
He became a born again Christian and reads the Bible every day.
A man who took three innocent lives decided to mend his ways.
Now when people talk to him, he's as friendly as he can be.
He has found happiness even though he's locked up and will never be free.
He beat the crap out of two police officers before he was booked.
Now he's a changed man and turning to God was all that it took.

Hi Randy.. I really enjoyed reading your creative work "Repentence" this morning. Your poem, my dog at my feet, and a hot cup a of Colombian coffee make for a perfect trifecta! Come see me today if you get a chance...
