The jury has delibrated,
And found the accusations to be true.
He is sent to jail for a crime he did not commit,
And I'm the only one who knew.

The people cry for blood,
They want this man dead.
The governor is up for re-election,
He will see to it that he has his head.

I thought the truth would come out,
But the truth was twisted by the prosecution.
Now another victim awaits,
His untimely execution.

He speaks to his family one last time,
He get his last meal.
He cries to a God he doesnt beleive in,
He wonders if all this is real.

The guards walk him down the hall,
They tie him to the chair.
they make sure he is in there tight,
He can feel the death in the air.

The clock is ticking,
Only a phone call can save his soul.
He knows the phone isnt gonna ring,
The governor is playing his role.

The warden gives,
The executioner the sign.
There is a short silence,
As everyone knows its time.

They pull the switch,
The energy rattles his bones.
He starts to rith in pain,
As he sits in the chamber alone.

His body still smoking,
His soul in a better place.
I know he wasn't angry with me,
But I dont know if I can look him in the face.

I am sorry you had to suffer,
I know you didnt commit the crime.
Justice wasnt served,
The killer will do no time!

Only I know the truth,
Of who the real killer is.
I was the one he killed,
I could never be called as a witness.

I am really sorry about your death,
I really feel for you.
I know it doesnt really help,
but remember I was murdered too.

A most intriguing perspective to write from.
I envy that you were up to the challenge...I hope to see more from you soon.
