They lied
It was so easy
Henry fell
In pain
The police came
They arrested him
His sweet life
Had been in vain
A Sikh had stabbed him
Such agony
He couldn’t breathe
He had lost his life
No ambulance came
No medics came
He was the one that they
Did blame
They pulled him about
Handcuffed him there
He told them he couldn’t breathe
Despair
Utterly vanquished
A lost cause
He had been stabbed
Just one long pause
As for the government
They turned away
Southampton was grieving
That poor boy did pay
He went to heaven
In true agony
Whilst the murdering scum
Sensationally
Carried on lying
And being believed
He wasn’t handcuffed
21 years
That his sentence
Innumerable tears
