THE VERDICT
The Feds loomed, a shadow long,
· "Guilty," the verdict, a chilling song.
· Life in prison, the sentence decreed,
· Attorney's plea, a desperate seed.
· But fate's cruel hand, a twisted game,
· Life behind bars, forever the same.
· Plea bargained hope, a fleeting sigh,
· Replaced by chains, beneath a somber sky.
