If by chance Gaddafi is caught,
Do we know what we’re going to do?
As with every crime, justice is sought,
But perspective is needed too.
A benchmark of law and order,
An origin for our graph,
As we drag him back from the border,
Have we written his epitaph?
So let’s establish a sense of scale,
Before he’s off to the slaughter.
As a starting point – six months in jail,
For stealing a bottle of water.
So how much worse are war-crimes,
Than bottled water theft?
I’d say it’s at least four times,
On account of the bereft.
So by my calculation,
Two years might make amends,
Followed by swift assassination,
If he ever reoffends.
