The Verdict


A tiny room
Many people
Crowded
Two dusty windows

Sunlight streaming in
Orange dusk

Intrusive silence
Steady nervous breaths
"Guilty."

What was the verdict?
Why do they do this to us?
Will things ever be normal again?

Heart wrenched
Broken
Disbelief
Lost

"Guilty."
"Guilty."
"Guilty."
