Trial

There is a trial against me, I have been punished and cannot be appealed I guess it is severe than “Life imprisonment” Or a “Capital Punishment”, sins would be pardoned in heaven A crime neither I am aware of nor shared Eternal mental torture I have to bear The verdict passed with my birth

Hello Manel, wow... are you saying we are born into judgement, and have a set sentence... well what ever the point is here. I like the poem. The trial's of life. I wish we had other guaranteed to live by... enjoyed...LINDA

My Dear Linda, Thanks. Initially I wanted to title it as "illegitimacy" Then again I thought it would be too direct. True the life is gifted in many many ways and hides ugly scars.
