Guilty

If I was to stand right in front of the jury,
guilty of committing an offence against the society,
I would solemnly walk to the front.
I would face the judge, witnesses and accusers.
I would be ready for any sentence(s) passed on me,
after the hammer hits its spot.
I would only stand in front of the court, only
if I was charged for loving you in the first degree...
