The Accused Poem by sarahfaith Nwosu

The summon to court passed
as the time for trial arrived before my eyes
all sits still after the adjournment that caused a choas in court
as the eyes of a jury caught mine
i lost all faith

I have been accused injustly
the fear of being sentenced will make me a man of hate
what prize for justice can one pay?
as lawyers only preached to the degree for which they knew

As i stepped into the court for my final veerdict
i kept my eyes straight when my laywer said..'Have a little faith'
he always talked about faith, but except in the court room
the judge begins and the jury concludes
when all is over, the court delays me...
''not guity''...
looking at their faces, i said to myself...
'i was never guity still you had a hard time finding out! .
