Innocent Man

As an innocent man stands trial
He cant help but be in denial
he is accused with possession of a firearm
but this man intended no harm
it was the other man who was at the scene
how could the police not have seen
that he was the one in possession
he was the one with the aggression
what he intended to do
none of us have a clue
so as this innocent man stands in the dock
for being in possession of a glock
he looks at the jury
with a face of fury
im not guilty he pled
the co-accused was the guilty one 
that's why he fled
he didn't turn up to court,
he couldn't face the time
so why did he commit this crime
and let an innocent man take the blame
yous criminals, your all the same!
