Guilty Until

Judge: Criticized because I refuse to walk the straight & narrow, don't meet the criteria of your blueprint. Jury: Umpired by a mass majority who rather expose my skeletons for all to see, but is too afraid to rattle their own. Executed: Slayed my mere existence, cast away like a useless vessel. Verdict: Neither judge, jury, nor executioner will obstruct, stop or hinder who I say I will be.
