The world i once ruled fooled me.

These chains I wear brings an era of growing pain.

Buried in thought; I waited for my martyr.

The session began as the judge walked in without grudge. A clatter and uproar subdued with receptive mood, the felon i became took an oath. He made statements untrue at first view.

A paid cover defends my keep; calling witnesses from an infinite deep. I could see his efforts to keep me from a death sleep.

A fresh statement by the public prosecutor to hold me bound on a dungeons keep. I asked myself “am I worth the keep?”

“An undue option to keep him bound” the judge screamed; he decided that a probable case was not established. He dismissed the accusation. My heart gave into laughter which lasted for a while.

And there she was “my girl”, through the aisle, walking on slow strides and took a stand against me.

It was a sober reality because she knew everything about me. She made cold and resentful remarks against me. Where did i get it all wrong? How can the world be so feeble and crude?

My tears seem unending. My cold feet gave in. This was obviously the death of me. I sought a shade of hope in my heart and found none. I sought for hope in her but in her eyes i could see hate.

The judge called a recess, the public was my jury; my existence their discord, in their hands my fate – an unfortunate series of events.

Guilty! In my faint i could hear them curse. The jury clatters my recoup “…The judgment of his flaws will not pause”

The sentence: death by drowning.
