The Sentence

Tried and convicted
But accused of no crime
No witnesses
No evidence
No defense
No alibi

 

Just one as judge and jury
And executioner

 

Sentence to be carried out immediately
No mercy to be shown
No clemency to be granted

 

Sentence as follows:
Banishment
Exile
Abandonment

 

Justice, undeserved
Is swiftly delivered
As one by one all turn away

 

The wrongly, falsely convicted
Merely accepting judgement
Numbed into acceptance
By the ultiamte betrayal
Of trust, of friendship, of love
Unexpected, unlooked for
But all the more devastating
For it's being so

 

The sentence of no crime
