Hidden in dark clouds of despair
With fear of the unknown lurking in the air
Trying without success to avoid the judge's curious stare
As his eyes seemed around me to dance
Carefully reading my expressionless countenance
Great efforts it took to maintain my balance
Battle of words and series of adjournments
Search for evidence and postponed judgements
Refined lies told in the course of arguments
Gradually coming to an end as my judgement was being decided
Quick unsteady flips my heart did
As I watched,listened and waited
Dreadful silence reigned in the courtroom
As everyone awaited the untold doom
Each unable to correctly assume
What exactly the final verdict would be
Scared I was but now ready
For whatever judgement might be passed on me
'Murder',it was termed but it really wasn't
A successful set up-that was it
Who'd believe I wasn't the culprit
Having been found dead by my side
After eating the chunks of meat I fried
How could I have poisoned my future bride?
Sorrowful cries pierced through the silence
As the judge read out the last sentence
I was innocent-I committed no offence
Yet fastened to my wrists were handcuffs jingling like a bell
Reminding me that I'd soon be in a congested cell
A fairly simplified version of hell.
