Analysis of Unfair Trial
I don’t quite understand the grounds for which
My forced relinquishment lies.
Never do I stray away
From my elder’s wishes
I stay within the lines created
As long as they are stated.
How am I supposed to wake up to fix a heart attack
If I never knew there was a mishap
To begin with.
The grounds for which my punishment rely on
Fail to reach the minds of the sane.
Therefore the jury should rule innocent
Yet the inconvenient obligation of the judge’s arrival
Overrules law and logic.
My verdict is guilty.
