Wrongfully Imprisoned

We went to prison a year ago Many prisoners everywhere I saw I met a man but I don’t know who One friend introduced me to him His case is attempted rape In a faraway place he is not safe Coz’ nobody believed in his story Language barrier he feels so sorry The police sensationalized the case The parents want him to be in life sentence Even with valid and strong evidences Wants 3 million for their daughters sake The witnesses explained the incidents neatly The family of the accused prayed hopefully It said nothing to be afraid nothing to worry But after 3 months the court said he is guilty It’s like a bomb the hits him on that day Ask where is GOD to protect him anyway? His heart, his emotions is in deep misery He looked around to the court and cried wearily This is what happens if you are not in your country Nobody to defend you even you beg on the Jury Many cases like this everywhere and around the world They are the victims and wrongfully imprisoned October 18, 2012

I do not believe in prisons - I think the whole business is irrational and inimical towards the wellbeing of society - it is wise to be a patient judge Maria, a quality which you seem to possess - its good to address such important topics through poetry, nice job - J.A.B. %
