The Verdict Was Passed Poem by Herbert Nehrlich

Well my faith was completely restored,
when the judge called the verdict today,
it is not that a party has scored
but that those full of badness must pay.

He was warned in the first little trial
to own up and declare himself bust,
yet he turned up the heat on the dial
as the lies, one by one, bit the dust.

It took long and it bothered my nerves,
there was patience required of all,
in the end we had no more reserves
but it is justice to watch the swine fall.

As the criminal trial goes ahead,
they will nail him with real hard steel
and his new and more permanent bed
is in jail, and he cannot appeal!

I would stand at the morning's first light,
when they cover your head with a cloth,
I would watch and remember the sight
and come back to the flame like a moth.

You have failed to be human and good,
have forfeitted your right on this earth,
as for me, I am sure that a hood
like yourself was a villain at birth.
