Convicted Poems

are criminal lawyers good people when they allow the innocent to Be Convicted

no god would stoop so low,
to break a mind already fragile,
or put innocence in a cell,
let alone make it pay for some sinless crime.

there are ghosts who don’t leave,
they cling like smoke,
they stain a man’s skin
with the black of all he’s seen and felt—
screams sealed inside walls,
eyes kept wide, without sleep.

in prison, the screams bounce

A Convicted Felon

If you Google ‘a convicted felon’
You’ll find the name of a person
Who’s rich, popular and flamboyant
You’ll see his original mug shot
Ladies and gentlemen, believe it or not
As we speak, this felon is dying to be president
Again, again, in order to avoid jail time
As we know, if one is convicted of a serious crime
One must obviously

34-felonies

He’s a very famous shell-man.
Who thought he was coated with teflon.
Can a narcissist be taught a lesson?
By him, the prosecutor and judge were threatened,
could the legal system withstand his aggression?
Yeah, his guilt was proven beyond question,
and now a 34-time convicted felon.
What’s he going to tell poor little Barron?
I doubt the judge will send him to

Self Destructive Wickedness Arrested, Convicted, and Gaoled

Self destructive wickedness arrested, convicted, and gaoled...

with kidnapping little boy 
ordered to suffer
life sentence without parole.

The deadly scourge of  
one obsessive/compulsive disorder
nearly left me starving to death.

Anorexia nervosa absent bulimia 
nadir of onset

severe social anxiety still legion I aire
behavior which agonizingly 
elicited slow suicide 
courtesy self starvation

Self Realization

Too many ups and downs in the journey
Too much sweet, bitter and honey

Far far away long way travel
Crying for peace in front of the devil

Destructed abstracted undefined destiny 
Self-realizations in the middle of the journey 

Multi-personalities in a tourney 
Giving up and giving in convicted felony 
For murdering the person in me
Painting characters to fitting

Convicted

I spent 6 years terrified you'd find me in my slumber.
Petrified I'd come to find.. that death had called my number. 
I spent 9 months in hiding so you'd never know I'd conceived. 
Coming to the realization that I'd never be free.
From you...  
I felt your hand around my throat, under my shirt, in

Convicted By Her Diary

Her murderer’s name written in her own hand
hidden for thirty-five years
found in an old diary

Convicted Heart

My enlarged heart
not bears anomaly ... lives full
of love ....
I'm a convinced cardiac
so I love from the heart
who makes me pulse strongly ...
I live with a festive heart,
full of songs and flowers,
always an opened garden,
a watercolor of colors ...!

I Was Addicted

The many many long lost demons,

Convicted Heart

My heart*, wholly convicted by God’s holy writ
Earnestly confesses its stubborn arrogance
Humbly acknowledging haughtiness’ engagements
Abased against futile glory-seeking pursuits.

This heart is now open to the Lord’s scrutiny
Surrendered for His gracious sanctification
Believing that nothing is hidden from His eye
Since He alone discerns the minutest intents.

With my cleansed, pardoned heart, I worship my Saviour
Esteeming Him with gratitude’s

Tried and Convicted Child

innocent child
housed
on a homeless street
crowded
with abandonment
and disparity
is found guilty…
sentenced
to life’s fear
that today
will become
tomorrow
and tomorrow’s
tomorrows
will become next 
week…and…
and…
what the hell…

Wrongly Convicted

Accused publicly
Dragged through the mud
Stabbed in the heart
Pinned to the cross
Humiliated defaced
Forsaken on my own
No one to take my part
Or even listen to my side
I may as well be mute
The verdict has been cast
Everyone is satisfied
Except me voiceless faceless me
I’ve been thrown under the bus
They’ve gotten rid of me
