Let me him



I know the law
Of man and of flesh
That there is no justice
Just crimes and punishments

Therefore i beseech you
Allow my son in my hands
You see how he weeps in my bosom
Oh to be of mice and men

i will not die 'til he be cured
Or what good is his mind in a cell
Shall he indeed know life is beauty
But he instead shall rot

his head shall be worse before he ends
As prisons do their best to bring ends
But i will nourish my son 'till death
he will know his sin

he will repent he will repent
i shall have my son
i shall have my son
i beg you have mercy do not kill him

But let me him
