Tampa in Michigan USA

81 years old and locked away

in a prison cell yes all day

for 3 whole months pray tell me why?

she fed stray souls

who might otherwise die

hungry little cats

who came

to share some food

the police did claim

in Tampa it has to be a crime

to feed the starving

hence this rhyme

Yes the police

they threatened and they

put this kind old soul away

suffering and humility

is missing

it would seem to me

the starving souls can go to hell

to encourage them

is to really sell

one’s soul to the devil

for its deemed wrong

these wretched cats

do not belong

on this earth

this is a police state

if you feed them

it will not be great

prison is the only way

to teach old folk crime doesn’t pay

the piper comes and you have to be

taken to the penitentiary

to sit and realize your worth

81 years on this earth

hopelessness and desperation

ominous repatriation

suffering in it we share

the little strays and the old folk there

Tampa Michigan USA

hang your heads

for the dismay

we read into what you now do

to the caring sharing

people who

retain their care

retain  a soul

and do not subscribe

to police control

where you are at

is clearly seen

by the outside world

now as obscene

you have lost your way

there is no heart

left in Tampa

and thats the start

of a police state mentality

robotic souls

who exact the law

and all its controls
