The Condemned Poem by Madiha Rehman
The Condemned
When tears evidence innocence
I'll always be guilty of crimes I never do.
Should I cry a river?
Will then I be right?
Or is the desert forever wrong
seeking water in the night
You condemn with a glance-
no question asked
Justice is served before
the accused is given a chance
Ah! The world likes to believe
that the Good trumps the evil,
that justice always prevails
But there are those of us who know
that it is a ship that rarely sails...
When tears evidence innocence I'll always be guilty of crimes I never do. Should I cry a river? Will then I be right? the cry of the innocent........ the bad justice system.. the really guilty escape punishment and the innocent are crucified. a terrible just system of the world everywhere.. thank you for this eye-opener. tony
