Poem
Story of a Condemned Criminal In a secluded investigatory chamber a veteran detective is conducting an examination on a suspect who insists he did not commit the crime. The investigator must commit the suspect for trial because he arrested him. The suspect insists on his innocence because he did not commit the crime; nonetheless, the suspect has no way to convince the veteran detective wearing a gun. A prosecutor was no different from the detective, he was even worse. Since he received a suspect, he has to submit a plea of guilt and win the case. An official counsel is no help to the suspect at all, he did not bother to understand or to believe his innocence but recommended he plead guilty to lessen the penalty, to avoid the death sentence because he was faced with a murder charge; worst case, he may be condemned to a cell. The jurors were also irresponsible because they didn’t care what would happen to the suspect. That’s why, though their occupation and social status were different, for their own reasons, they wanted relief from this wearisome jury duty as quick as possible; their verdict was guilty of murder, the judge accepted, and sentenced to death by hanging. As the days advanced, the execution day approached and the night before his execution day, the guard asked the convict, what he wants to eat for the dinner. He told the guard; don’t bother, because his stomach is full, he was fed with sorrow and tears. On the execution day, a prison chaplain came to the gallows and told him ardently; repent and ask for God’s mercy. Since he had no idea what did he wrong, and therefore was confused; while he hesitantly looked for the words, the hangman dropped him in the pit. After the execution—because no one claims his body, the corpse was sent to an autopsy room of a school where the students crowded to study medicine as a money making means. After his body was dissected before the students, carefully analyzed piece by piece and finally, its form dissolved, the real murderer of the case was caught by the police. Then the full account of this case was reported on the papers daily, spread through the air and became the talk of all, but the detective, the public attorney, the prosecutor, the judge, the jurors, the prison guard, the hang-man and the prison chaplain who took part in this affair, not only turn their face away from the fact but live in their everyday life without a pang of guilt. The medical students, with more eased minds than the people who were directly involved in the case, were measuring their future to which specialty field of medicine to study to make easy money.
