Sense Sonnet - Steamer

Shame Shared

The man convicted of the crime
Of blowing up a Pan Am flight,
Was dying and had little time,
So powers that be said 'twas right,
Back home to Libya to send
This guy, so that with family
His final days he could spend.
But really these powers that be -
Gadhafi and some British folk
Struck their lucrative oil deals that
Turned justice into but a joke,
And greed is really where it's at.

Do humans seek heaven or hell?
Sometimes it's really hard to tell.
