The Law


He thinks he is following the law

Thinks he is doing the right thing

Sorry, but he's not

He is wrong

He lied on the stand

He disobeyed orders

He got away with the verdict, "Not Guilty"

We all know he is guilty however

In several aspects of the word

Guilty of disobeying an operator's orders

Guilty of following someone who seemed creepy

Guilty of a gunshot wound to the young man's heart

Guilty of a lot of things

Guilty . . . of a young man's life.
