Fornication To Freedom
As I walked into the court room
Whispers shoving past my ears
Sharp glances cut me like razor blades
Negative energy so thick in the air it suffocates me
Still they question – What is she smiling about?
Hate was charging me with attempted murder
Greed was first on the list of witnesses against me
Lust and Envy were being held in contempt
Prosecutor Strife showed up wearing a black suit and a lie
Fornication drew many pictures
Sin took a plea bargain, and testified as the prosecutions star witness
Assistant Prosecutor Regret, worked hard to compile a jury of my fears
Adultery yelled, “Hear ye, Hear ye, everyone rise, the Honorable Judge Grace presiding.”
Doubt wouldn’t stop staring at me
Vanity was the picture shooting court reporter
Salvation was my court appointed attorney
Forgiven was the only witness for my defense
Victory over the enemy was my attorneys closing statement
Free was the verdict that Judge Grace gave me
