A Verdict Juiced
Getting Away With Murder
Justice in America gets served a different way
When weighted towards those with the ability to pay
When someone has the means then their acquittal is the goal
A “Dream Team” of attorneys pawning justice that they stole
Despite the solid evidence most thought was iron clad
Incompetence dictated that the verdict could be “had”
What happened to the ethics that injustice would replace
A comedy of errors turned conviction towards “race”
The trial took on an atmosphere to keep us entertained
Ignoring that third blood type on a walkway badly stained
The crime scene showed the aftermath of man’s unbridled sin
When rage and angry hatred release demons from within
What soothes a wicked, darkened soul is anybody’s guess
When truth that’s buried deep inside, one chooses to suppress
Confessions from a deathbed is how some choose to behave
However though in this case one took secrets to the grave
Yet, even when the unrepentant longs to pass away
They still will meet their Maker and be faced with “Judgment Day”
About the Creator

I’ve been writing poetry (rhyming mostly) for about 7 years and have recently transitioned to writing novels and short stories. My poetry genres are faith, humor, social issues, politics, pretty much any subject matter.
