A bearded man with his head hung low looking despondent while standing behind bars in a prison cell.
Alas, what ill-fated fortune hath befallen me? My heart is heavy with the weight of my woes. For I have shared a video that I ought not to see, A beheading video from ISIS that no one knows. Oh, how did I come to this sorry state? How did I let myself fall so low? To share such a gruesome video and seal my fate, And face years in jail for the crime I know. But yet why do they not show mercy on me? Why do they sentence me to such despair? Is it because of my ginger beard or the sin I committed unknowingly? Is there no way out of this prison cell so bare? Ah, but perhaps there is hope yet for me! If only I could find some respite from this misery. I must seek forgiveness and prove that my heart is free, So that once again life can bring joy to me. Oh woe is me! What have I done wrong? My foolishness has led me astray all along. How can one man make such a grievous error so strong? And now here I am facing years in jail before too long. But still, even in these darkest days of mine, There remains a glimmer of hope within my soul divine. If only I could find strength enough to carry on this time, Then perhaps someday soon freedom will be mine!
