A crime? But all were innocent.
The victim scarletted the day.
Justice donned the cloth's repent.
There was no retributed "pay".

Blinded by the tears of "done"
knowing that the winds had raged
seeds of weeds in Eden blown
as cancer, patient for its wage.

Justice shrouded then her eyes
the book she held to keep it chaste
knowing that the words would lie
when spoken by the men who feigned

Wisdom, with perspective, dyed,
as Truth imprisoned, convolute,
made slashes marking dots of Ides
on a virgin prostitute...

One lone keeper vigilant
can not stop the poison vine.
Thus the child contaminant
became the same thing by design.

Loathesome embryonic seed
evolved to demons in the mind;
dirtied by no malice, freed,
by the crime no one defined.

Would only one so ignorant
travel regions perilous?
Perhaps the burdened penitent
felt the need to kill the time.

Superb writing!  Very powerful.  I could relate to a subject about which this may have been written!  If it is the one of which I am thinking, you have described it to the tee, and very poetically, if I might say.  Welcome to PipTalk.  I look forward to reading more of your poetry when I am able.
