Accused Wrongly Written By Timeless Future As death enters my back and hell opens the acceptance.. I see the convict who takes my life,death angels are in my presence the knife now like blood, part of my body I don’t deserve this but God choose my path to be accused wrongly One Year Before I’m a black man living in white society But my life is good ….People are nice enough when they walk by me I work as a security guard for minimum wage I support my wife and children….We try and get by in life day to day I headed off to work, at 10 that night Road light up like angels….I never knew death was in reach or sight I arrived to find a man shoot my colleague my friend My eyes enraged with fury, the man ran and disappeared round the bend I ran to the wounded solider, blood rippled from his bones phoned 999 got a dial tone, then heard the police other end of the phone police arrived on the scene and seen that I was covered in his blood without taking a look at him, only seeing skin, threw me into handcuffs next thing I knew the jury’s saying guilty, killing all hope all I could think about was how my 2 kids and wife were gonna cope 5 months on, and jail is hell, I cant sleep well always looking over my back, even when in my cell about a month ago, I had a punch up with a guy named butch told me I was dead – scared me to the bottom of my soul with one look they knew I was wrongly accused that’s why I’m getting abused I’m sick of being punched kicked and bruised Then a ray of hope, my appeal went well they said not guilty They said ill be out in 5 day---cant believe it could be that quickly Days went quick5, 4, 3, to 2 without trouble We had to go to the yard the next day, I thought as I shaved my stubble I walked into the yard, knowing something was going on The stares showed me there would be a showdown with another con Butch appeared and fighting broke out. I knew it was pre arranged I got confused couldn’t find a way out of the confusion they had made I see a smile from an inmate My wife and kids flashed before my eyes I knew it was to late As death enters my back and hell opens the acceptance.. I see the convict who takes my life, eath angels are in my presence the knife now like blood, part of my body I don’t deserve this but God choose my path to be accused wrongly Message Why should life be taken because of the colour of skin Life should be judged my the colour of you within |
