Political Arena

It was a political arena that he was in A political arena where they said he could not win. He was fighting for the rights of man Someone had to take a stand. His religious rights were being denied They said he was a war activist which was a lie. He believed in the commandment “thou shall not kill” They wanted to take away his rights of “ free will”. So his lawyer went to court, and fought With everything that he was taught. He knew he had a battle up ahead But it was a fight he did not dread. Civil rights were being denied Freedom to all should apply. They went to court the very next day He knew the jury he would have to sway. He started debating how he should start When a deep feeling pierced his heart. He told the jury: if this had been GODS will He would have taught us how to kill. Can you find it in your heart to take another mans life And leave a person without a husband, family, children , wife. Those words penetrated deep into their minds. It did not take them very much time. “ NOT GUILTY” we the jury do find.
