The Verdict: Act IV - Sentenced
by
Robert Cameron Hazelton
The Sky revolves around the Sea,
The Mountains dwarf the Sun.
No one hears my crying plea,
The Trial has just begun.
There is no hope, my life is lost,
An Evil feeling’s on the rise,
When I was happy I forgot the cost,
Now I see through all the Lies.
Caustic quotations burn my mind,
Blame is thrown about,
I’m fighting hard but still behind;
The Jury shows little doubt.
I beg for mercy - to no avail,
They smile sadistic grins.
My body feels so limp and frail,
At the slightest move I cringe.
A stench of Death invades the room,
Fantasies soothe my Soul,
When they carry me to my Doom,
My mind loses all control.
They strap me in, I’m grinning now,
The switch goes down, the lights blink out...
