Tackle the World

*
Willem offered an example - what of the wife
who shot her husband because he threatened
her with a screwdriver, she was found guilty of
manslaughter and incarcerated

From a spiritual viewpoint I do not believe the law just,
I said, if she were not to be blamed as I claimed, she
would have made the most of her spell in prison
and that would prove me right

Studying, learning a craft, feeling better than under
her Hitlerian husband - if she simply went from bad
to worse, she would have proved the law right -
only retrospectively can we say

Whether a decision was right or wrong, it all depends
on what we did under the circumstances we had to
face, if she were really a victim of her husband’s
insistence on her being a slave

Her behaviour in jail would reveal her true nature - but
of course, my viewpoint is not popular, the law wants
its decisions endorsed, there are rules, Willem says,
he feels passionate about them; he is self-confident

As long as he believes passionately, he is safe, chasing
his dreams with enthusiasm, Willem is Nici’s friend, they
are still young, ready to tackle the world...
