Today he is sitting in a prison cell
answering a ton of questions asked by furious police-men
He must be regretting what he did last night
but he would have done it anyway
All he said was
"I only took a box of milk-powder
not with the intention of robbing the shop
my wife died last year of COVID
and left me with a 2 year old daughter
when she cries for milk how can I give any
because I am no mother and have no money
The prices are getting higher and higher
I cannot even buy the daily bread and butter
So I had to steal a box of milk-powder
to feed my only little daughter"
But now the man is in prison
His daughter has no one in the world
The system is never friendly with the poor
but always flexible for powerful people
