hanif basree is free

borrowed from The Star

Hanif Basree is free
The Norietta murder case hangs
Someone is walking
The law hasn’t captured him

The Federal Court freed the defendant
Nothing is linked to the murder
Though he had relationship with her
It didn’t mean murder was tied to him

After long trek from the wilderness
After 5 years watching every day a gift
Now Hanif Basree is truthfully free
Learning his lessons no more forgetting his responsibility
A second chance Allah gives him
He shouldn’t forget his wayward ways

The Police back to square one
Wrong approaches derailed the case
Now the police officers must investigate
On the cold facts in the files

My take is a foreigner
Picking him knowing him then
Like a game of truth and dare
Finally it turned awfully wrong
A life just lost in the heat of passionate glow
Now the police officers have to find out
On the files waiting for new leak to close the case

Somewhere a man walks free
Feeling no remorse feeling no regret
A life lost a life needed to repay
Perhaps it is payback time
A debt owned in the after life…
