If you rob with pen a big tittle await youP

Today many of our excellence are pen robberQ
Yet they are the lord of the city stateA
While our prison housed innocentR
If there is justice in the city stateA
Many of the so called ExcellencyF
Should be in the yardS
With hard labourT
But our justice brotherQ
Is for the highest biddersU

In the city stateA
We will put you on death sentenceV
If you abuse our place of worshipW
But honor you in our place of worshipW
If you loot the common wealth with penN
In the city stateA
Everyone is a potential looterQ
Waiting for space and timeX
The beautiful ones are rareY
Others are animal in human skinZ
The city state has been spellA2
