Falsely Imprisoned

James Bain imprisoned in jail for a crime he did not commit Proclaiming his innocence that took a long 35 years to acquit Accused of raping a nine year old boy, when he was just nineteen That his young life would be stolen from him was devastatingly unforeseen All because he fit the description, a case of mistaken identity Now facing years of hardships, gone the days of relaxed serenity The mental anguish he must have endured, one can not conceive Yet, he's not angry or bitter, angst most of us could not perceive Four motions were denied for DNA testing on his case The fifth proved his innocence and became his saving grace Released when he was 54, with a smile that doesn't leave his face He says: "it's because I got God", his devout faith he does embrace Now positive and happy, he is an inspiration to all mankind To fight and not to give up hope when dealt cards justly unkind.
