Indiana Shaw Poet Couplet

Listen to poem:

Saving Judgement

Black lies and deceits were hidden within the cracks and crevices
Along with all the truths hidden that fears your greatest nemesis

But there was nothing that can be hidden that can’t be truly seen
All the decades of cruelty, where you purposely tried, to demean

Ushers standing in silence as each of the guilty crimes were read
Where even the judge’s face paled, then in shame hung his head

With the real truth soon exposed, more evidence, came into play
And purposeful experience upon the twelve jurors’ had been laid

Each one unable to condemn, as each had played their own part
To rip away the innocence, of what was just a good honest heart

Reverse psychology was played, to get the culprits desired effect
Their guilty ridden consciousness, on you they wanted to project

These shutter island personas, unsure of which of them to blame
And a judge who had no choice; but to condemn them, all insane

With the players playing the players all within one confined room
Wardens held their shovels ready, to clear out the pending doom

Its aftermath was not a pretty sight as the hidden truth prevailed
Then the skins and bones were scrutinized with the lies un-veiled

Each warden scooped up the deceits in their own respective pails
To re-address some kind of balance, on those judgemental scales

Put up yet again before the high judge, but are no lesser accused
None of them; before God, or judge, are to be remained excused

But exposed for ruining others innocence, to fuel their own ends
Thus to enjoy their dividends without once making their amends

But the naivety of your innocent, does not allow you to walk free
No excuses for ignorance; therefore, the judge ignored your plea
