arrested on suspicion
incarcerated for sins not committed
victim of moral absence
apathetic robot, heartless mannequin.
the judge would not look at him
he the bane of human existence
he the liability to society
while rich lawbreakers run rampant
no hearts bleed for poor men
medals secured , promotions wrangled
no money for bail or lawyer
ephemeral expulsion excommunicates
disowned by loved ones for a bond surety
heart dragged through a cactus field of memories
hope breathes the final sigh.
callousness arrive in torrential flood.
dumped into a feral world of bleeding hearts
every moment , a minute past eternity
endless night pass , will there be a dawn?
life churned on by iron gears
mind wrenched in morbid pain
heart bruised by callousness
love, once fluid, now brittle and dry
regard for human life spirals down the drain
frightened into dark corners
fear of more degradation awaiting
vision blurred, speech slurred
too numb to feel anything
our rulers indifferent to this blight
this world, rotting in its grave
in pestilence of saturation.
daily effort to ebulliate in remand,
threats to torch an empty body
truth must lie buried
more promotions for uniformed men
society’s unadorned ignorance
can we deliver him from the chains?
