What will you feel,
When someone else dines the delicious dinner;
But, you have to unavoidably pay the painful bill?
What will you feel,
When you are sentenced to the hateful prison,
For, someone else did another immorally kill?
What will you feel,
For, someone else does illegally a heavy sum steal,
But, alas, you have to bear the brunt of a bleeding steel?
What will you feel,
When you shell out a huge fine, for, someone else does gamble,
But, by money, power and clout, drink, dance and amble?
May none of you ever be an innocent quarry!
For, it's too bitter, for others' blunder, to say Sorry!
Glossary:
Shell out - to be forced to pay more
Amble - here, to escape
Quarry - victim
