Sense Sonnet - Steamer

Lesson Lost

A foreign student, 21,
Charged with bomb toss in the U.S.
Witnesses saw what he had done.
Evidence was more than a guess.
He's Chinese and China has got
Over the U.S. lots of sway,
Perhaps a crime that's best forgot.
Let it all just wink, wink away.
"He's a good boy," his mom does state.
Jail awhile, do slow paperwork.
Prob'ly guilty but let him skate.
Call it "deport" the screwball jerk.

Would the U.S. forget the bomb,
And send the guy back home to mom?
