One of ‘Em
Introduction
A wrongful conviction
Is usually on purpose
A wrongful conviction
Never helps, but only
Worsens
The Condition of a person,
Or a people for that matter.
A wrongful conviction mistreats
Both parties involved.
They both receive an injustice,
At the dropping of several
Balls.
Some have died
While under the guise
Of injustice lies
Some just chose to move on,
And try to repair their
Broken Lives:
With the help of one
Dedicated heart
Several lives have
Been restored
But the saddening
And hurtful part
Is that more are
Still being stored
And I’m one of ‘em.
