OSCAR

In 2012 from South Africa to London you came 
To represent your country in the Olympic name 
You won gold in that 400 metre race 
Everyone knew of your profile and your face 

The first double leg amputee in Olympic sport 
Running like the wind and never getting caught 
Oscar Pistorius I looked up to you 
You showed the world what a man with a disability can do 

The next year things took an unexpected turn 
Guns cause killings when will people ever learn 
Reeva your girlfriend was shot and killed outright 
You were found guilty of her killing on that February night 

Now Oscar one of my heroes must serve his time 
Putting an end to this interesting little rhyme
