Obama Sir, there’s a great news for you
kidnap the future terrorist, that’s true
Musa Khan is a baby aged nine-month-old
who attempted to murder, we’re told
in Pakistan, some people in a Lahore slum
treated gas company workers as scum
because of unpaid bills they were there
to disconnect gas lines with scissors pair
residents tried to murder, police accused
because some of the workers got bruised
along with the family, Khan got charged too
and gave his thumbprint without any clue
nervous baby was crying in the court
or was it a contempt of court kinda snort?
while Khan got milk, court granted a bail
I’ll have to hide, Khan decided in a mood pale
grandpa argued: can’t even pick up his milk bottle
so how can my grandson kill someone or throttle
what grandpa forgets is that the law is blind
and the law-implementing machinery is without mind
