are heard
by those in orange jumpsuits
standing in front
of the judge,
going to prison
for many years.
they suddenly feel upset
about
the damage they've done.
the gun they shot,
the knife they plunged.
they cry and beg
forgiveness.
plead for mercy to shorten
their stay.
the light has gone on
and they promise
now to be better people.
it's those not caught
yet, that rarely
have an i'm sorry to say.
