Invisible Trial

write please read and enjoy

No defense will be heard on your behalf

hold his arms and legs taut 

I revel in the look of terror 

stretched across his sleeping face, 

he's torn himself inside out for his errors

now I will hammer this gavel down until we put him in his place

once and for all 

the guilty party 

dances in deaf and blind conditions

lips curled up to apologies and confessions

torture and justice are holding hands

they make quite the couple

let them trample 

so long as we see suffering 

and we say nothing 

we incite judgement 

we say so

we say no

we see you

we are within you

until we are you

you are sentenced to 

life.
