About that maiden voyage
trial run from criminal scene
moments to soon..shots ring out
just about to turn a corner
someone in blue nabs me...
for whatever reason
just wanted to get free...

at precinct, asked why I hung around
told to shut up, not make a sound
bombarded with hows and why
to make a normal person cry..

deliberate says the accuser
unaware chirps the accused
to abrupt to be in earnest
schemed is the final account

just about to be acquitted
jury in session without heads
contrived conviction is cooked instead
go straight to jail, do not pass go
witness deliberate justice in row...


undermined says the plaintiff
masterminded retorts the defendant
all abrupt to make any sense
schemed are the charges thence...


why expect honest verdict to be laid one day
when a deliberate motion can be set anyway?

Oh, this is one of those writes that makes you take your head out of the sand and look at what you don't want to see.  But we must look, musn't we?

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.
