A Sealed Fate

 his plea
                  for clemency
           has fallen on deaf ears - 
  a death row inmate walks to the
                       gallows

This is a very aching and heartfelt take for the contest, you've conveyed immense depth within such few words and described how our pleas get unheard by those deliberately deaf ears and our truths remain as unsung melodies of faith.. Sigh, really emotive this is.. A brilliant cinquain poem!!
