Fifty Years


Lee Ketcham, Johnny A great brother indeed Law, Good ole Johnny Ignorance of the highest degree 13 years be the gap The gap between brother and me 9 years ago was a trap The trap that got him 50 Self defense was the incitement The courts seemed to disagree Involuntary manslaughter be the arraignment Which left me without a brother for the next 50 I can hope and wish The appeals process is swift Oh how much thats a miss Because they would need a gift It has been 9 years Since my last sight It’ll be another 41 years Before I’ll ever regain my sight.
