Poem Title:
Poem
He was stop at the traffic light They had him surround And they put a hand cuff And he wonders what’s wrong And said that he is wanted For what he don’t have a clue It has to be a mistake This cant be true They put him in a line up Then come in the room and say The others can leave But he has to stay So why she accuse him of this crime When He never seen her before The jury says that he’s guilty And sentence him to 25 years or more He broke down in court His mother screams and cried And today 15 years after his mother has died Then one night while watching TV He sees there is a new technology Call DNA testing that can prove If some one are innocent or guilty He got a new trial And his conviction was over turn 15 years of his life was taken That can never be return She said she was sorry But he just walks away Knowing there’re many innocents Still in jails today Yes some times things happens Why we can never know And we have to keep believing Or our minds will surely go He sits on his gallery alone As the rain starts falling down Today he is a free man Tomorrow a new life began You'll never know what its means To have your life taken from you Confined to a world behind four walls For crime you didn't do This poem I write today Is for the innocents in jails Keep hope brothers and sisters The truth will prevails
