Premium Member Wrongful Conviction
Sweetened dung is shoveled down
gluttonous throats with eager appetites for
alleged misdeeds skillfully spun
into a frenzy of sensationalized hype
by media-seasoned reporters.
.
Seduced by speculation and hearsay,
a jury of pseudo-intellectuals assembles
neatly with moral turpitude tied
smug and tight around rigid white collars
stained heavy with sweat and anticipation.
 
She stands...

Wrongful Incarceration Without Loss of Determination
I did'nt deserve to watch my mom break down over nerves
I did'nt deserve for nightly my dads sleep to be disturbed
I did'nt deserve for life to be the judge and jury's words

Premium Member Wrongful Imprisonment
Here I live in darkness
Dreadful fright and fear
Kept from all my fam'ly
And friends that once were near

Why am I imprisoned
What has been my wrong?
Why this dreadful sorrow
Instead of happy song?

Naught has been my trespass
Innocent am I
Robbed of all life's goodness
Condemned in jail to die...

You half...

for running her over; 
negligence and
wrongful death.
 .
 No one saw the woman
until her body was found
on the roadway
thirty five feet...

Never thinking about my actions 
Not caring about what others think
shrug my shoulders being my first reaction

I have not a smile to share
but I can tell you something
a small secret 
you must promise...

You can feel

hits the party lights

Wrongful Made Mistake
There once was a girl
who lived in a very small world
she was 11 years old
and thought she looked very pale and old.
Until she went walking 
one day
and was feeling very sad
she met a boy 
they called Chad
he started to boost up 
her head
with all the...

seem to plague our beloved nation.
Many of them do not successfully complete
their high school education.

Without any proper guidance from Jesus Christ,
They have no inner voice of conviction in
their troubled young lives. They seek the
wrong passage ways. Death and violence
