Notes About The Poem

Cipher

wrongfully
     convicted man
          released
               after decades
                    is still stigmatized

as rapist;
     is shunned
          publicly
               and made
                    pariah...

even though
     society knows
          he's an innocent man;
               real 
                    perpetrator jailed!
