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
