TWISTED drawings and poetry by race-hate killer Imran “Baldy” Shahid have been put forward for a prison awards scheme.

And the monster, serving at least 25 years for the kidnap and murder of 15-year-old Kriss Donald, could win a cash prize for his hate-filled rantings.

Shahid’s sinister work, which warns menacingly that “the world has to pay”, is revealed today by

the Daily Record.

It opens a window on the warped mind behind one of Scotland’s most horrific crimes, and shows all the boorish arrogance that has made Shahid a marked man behind bars.

Shahid, now 36, led the gang who abducted Kriss in Pollokshields, Glasgow, in 2004, dragging him into a car simply because he was white.

The thugs took the terrified schoolboy on a four-hour terror ride across central Scotland before stabbing him 13 times, dousing him in petrol and leaving him to burn to death.

Shahid’s revolting writing shows no remorse for Kriss or his grieving family. Instead, he justifies his depraved behaviour and tries to portray himself as a fearless gangster, rather than a coward who murdered a defenceless boy.

In one poem, called 50 Levels of Wrath, Shahid writes: “Anger, pain, the world has to pay.”

And he revels in his vicious life of violence, writing: “Respect is overrated, fear’s what I seek.

“Murder and mayhem, the tools of my wrath.

“I’m the hater of man, the bringer of death.”

The poem is marked as an entry for the Koestler Awards, run by prison charity the Koestler Trust.

It is accompanied by a drawing, apparently a stylised self-portrait mimicking gangster rapper Ice Cube, which repeats his chilling phrase, “the world has to pay”.

When he was jailed in 2006 for Kriss’s murder, Shahid already had a long criminal record. He was jailed for four-and-a-half years in 1995 and for 30 months in 2003, both times for serious violence.

In another piece of writing, called A Life Lived, he brags of leading a pack of thugs with a mission to “expel racist white gangs from Pollokshields”.

He brags: “I amassed houses, money, women, cars, power and children as a direct consequence of my fraudulent activity.”

And he whines: “I received my first criminal conviction for services against my oppressors.”

Since his life sentence, Shahid has been moved from prison to prison and kept in solitary for years to protect him from revenge attacks.

He went to court to demand damages for being locked up on his own, and lost. And he has been assaulted twice while in the general prison population.

Shahid was slashed with a razor in Saughton jail in 2011 for trying to extort money from young cons.

And this month, the Record revealed that he had been brutally beaten with weightlifting bars

by 15 inmates in the gym at Kilmarnock prison.

A source said his attackers were sick of him “strutting around like an untouchable” and getting more privileges than other prisoners.

Shahid got an additional three-month sentence in 2009 for a savage attack on another prisoner who racially abused him in Barlinnie.

The Scottish Prison Service refused to discuss Shahid’s art work. A spokeswoman said: “We cannot comment on individual prisoners.”
