Verdict
VERDICT
Is it from a past memory that one learns
The thing that someone once did, or said to you
It is as if one’s heart and brain each take turns
To reconcile recollections that accrue
After all this time, that angry flame still burns
And I still wonder what really can be true
That word that affects me to this very day
Guilty is a verdict that I took away
