Trembling I walk slowly behind
Nervous and scared not knowing why
They take their seats so at ease
I take my seat, a lions den I feel
I raise my eyes and look to see
Many eyes looking at me
Every cell shaking within
I put on a smile, breathing in
Old and young all alike
Direct and crossed, its question time
All is quiet, it’s digesting time
I believe, angels are passing by
The jury stands, its time to go
All rise, my heart in my throat
I wonder when, I’m summoned again
For Judgment day is done for today
