Guilty or not guilty?

Guilty or not guilty?

Accused of murder.

The mans fate lies within the jury.

Lawyers arguing.

"Order in the court!"

Guilty or not guilty?

Such a small choice,

Such a large penalty.

Did he do it?

They can't decide.

"guilty!"

The mans head hangs low.

The bailiff takes him away.



Behind cold steel bars, an innocent man lies.

Caged like an animal for a crime he did not commit.

But they will never listen.

They will never know.
