The Accused Poem

More about The Accused Poem

In the courtroom, a somber scene,
A defendant's fate, yet to glean.
The gavel falls, the trial begins,
As the accused awaits, with bated grins.
Charges levied, accusations made,
A case to prove, or to evade.
The tension high, the stakes are dire,
As the accused stands, facing the fire.
Witnesses testify, evidence presented,
The truth sought after, justice vented.
The defense pleads, the prosecution's strong,
As the accused's fate hangs, for so long.
The verdict's in, the judgment rendered,
A moment of truth, that leaves hearts tender.
Innocent or guilty, the decision made,
The accused's destiny, now conveyed.
The trial ends, with a final plea,
For mercy or justice, to set them free.
The accused departs, with a heavy heart,
Facing the consequences, a life apart.
