Judgement

Innocent till proven guilty

Right until he’s proven wrong

These words are often filthy

Lies of justice passed along

Tears can stream in rivers

And still be turned around

Cause all emotion he delivers

Will be suspect when it’s found

If he’s happy; he’s denying

If he’s sad; it’s lies he’s crying

If he’s strong; it’s just a show

If he’s sure; he doesn’t know

If he’s weak; it’s cause he did it

If he’s scared; he can’t admit it

Cause no matter what he’s stating

Someone out there’s debating

If he’s angry; then it’s true

God forbid he come unglued

For help only makes them certain

That “He’ll get what he’s deserving”

If he’s lonely; can’t admit it

They’ll only say that’s why he did it

If he’s hurting; has to hide it

The public's view is all one sided

One thing is for certain

He will get what he’s deserving

If he’s strong for those who love him

Than only the Lord can judge him

I wrote this one a long time ago about the Michael Jackson scandal... I love this poem... cause it doesn't only talk about him... but of the state of society as a whole.  People now are so quick to judge... Never giving the benefit of doubt... never trusting... always skeptical....

At this point in my life when things are so good, I see the bad even more... and wish things were different.
