Condemned

they stand no chance
the die is cast
condemned 
without a trial
guilt by association

Great truth spoken in this poem, Paul. As a Christian, the Lord Jesus was the poster child of an innocent being wrongly condemned, as are His followers in the centuries following. Anywho ... that's just how I feel. Very powerful message on a very sensitive subject. Excellent write. Love always from the RW (Romantic Warrior.)

People are quick to condemn others, very often without bothering to seek the truth. Thank you for your contribution, Freddie; your comments are made with sense. Regards // paul

it is a tragedy for such people. At least a thousand have been executed when they were innocent in the past century of American history. Good topic to write on.

Hi Andrea thanks for stopping by. Many are those found guilty due to coincidence /circumstances/etc. Unfortunately justice has only one eye. // paul

this poem is specific to persons who are wrongly accused............. suffering without a just cause...... :( sad to say that there are a lot like this nowadays....... realistic prose..... +++olive_eloi who whispered a prayer for those who are innocent yet they are condemned...
