An Innocent Man Poem by Dave Alan Walker

An Innocent Man

Rating: 4.2


Standing in the
courtrooms of hell
waiting to be sentenced
by the devil himself

A lonely man
stares into insanity
Not caring about life or death

Standing there
on a false confession
that he knew
would end his life

Nobody knows
how many people knew
he didn't commit the crime
Because nobody cared

They sent him to his death

Deep and very touching write. So many times human being becomes victim of frantic illusions of system which is rightly depicted here. Wonderful and praiseworthy job by poet friend Dave. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful poem...An innocent man is hanged to death, though no fault of him..So true, in our daily lives too innocent people are the victims, just because they are innocent..Meaningful poem. Loved it.
