Framed

I object your honor
please let me state my case
all of this you are ruling on
is not a true portrayal

before you deem me guilty
you, and a jury of my peers
let me bring further evidence
of how I landed here

what? too late you tell me?
you can't see that I was framed?
my heart gets sent to prison
and I take all of the blame

Thought provolking satire, you could take this many ways, very well done. Truely injoyable read. Good work, clever. Judy Riley
