Jury

 

Here my cries as I sit in front of my jury!

My heart filled with a rage and a burning fury.

My hands bound by the chains I forged in lies.

Lies told for acclaim from the posh and the wise.

Residing in a place produced from tragedy and detest.

I failed to overcome and failed to meet the test.

In my own steps, I faltered from the quest.

I lost my way and in doing so failed like the rest.

 

I lost the sight of the light that lit the way,

To a path that I knew would lead to an amended day.

I gave up to the temptation of an elementary being

I gave into enticement and stopped disagreeing

I cursed whichever God I believed in at the moment

Created an existence of loathing and descent

Where perceptions of love had been skewed and bent

Where those infected were infected with resent

 

I throw myself on the mercy of the twelve I have created

A panel of emotions conflicting and negated

I will pay the toll for the whatever verdict they bestow

There shall be sacrifice and forfeit, of this I know

I will atone for the sins committed against my soul

With hands bound in chains I will seek to fill a hole

I will try to bring forth light to a vision black as coal

I will confide in myself and no longer play the role
