OJ, Can You See?

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: October 12, 2008

A national anthem for "Overdue Justice"…

O. J. can you see
by the dawn's early light
that the bars in your cell
are as dark as your future?

The broad stripes you now claim
on your jump suit of shame
call to mind your dead wife
and the ways you abused her.

After thirteen long years
it's amazingly clear
that the verdict then botched
has at last now been rendered.

O. J. does it haunt you
to see all that you have have lost?
Giving in to lust and greed
without heeding the cost.

* The above lyrics can be sung to tune of "The Star Spangled Banner"
