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.
