Witnesses Of Justice Poem by Dave Alan Walker

Witnesses Of Justice

Rating: 5.0


They say they saw
Then they go and lie
Put people in prison
for a crime

Why would they lie
Is it in their mind
How can they live
knowing this

Has their soul
got a conscience
Will it eat them away
until one day they will have to say
what they saw that day

Maybe they are traumatized
by dismay
But it doesn't mean
they have to put innocent people away

The lies must stop
Why should the guilty get away
While innocent people
rot away

Oh how deep the feel you shared here B.D, we need a stable balance/scales to see the true weight of justice, lies, mistakes and truth.. Sometimes the thing we live here so clouded with uncertainty, when truth accused for lies, and wrong wear good-look to disguise eyes, I cry for who innocent locked in this life, but the one like you keep inspiring make life brighter and smile more than a little..keep it up for strong voice B.D_Unwritten Soul

Hi Dave, I really admire this poem. There are so many Paul's in prison. All over the world. What I cannot grasp, is people getting sent to jail for stealing because they were hungry. While the fat cats (drug lords, corrupt fraudulant ministers, etc) gets away with murder. This poem points out how invaluable the justice system is. Great one!
