Justice Undetermined
Write a poem about justice.
Is this really justice?
I really don’t know
Sitting in my cell
Looking out the window
No shops, no roads
No people I can see
Only other prisoners
In the same position as me
Having flashbacks from court
When the judge finally said
Be prepared for the next
4 ½ years ahead
My head hung down
I was leaving my freedom behind
Nothing but my family
Was running through my mind
The bloke was an arsehole
Why couldn’t this be seen?
I just wanted him away from me
The horrible little fiend
Shouting and pointing in my face
Who did he think he was?
I should’ve stopped and thought about this
And put the world on pause
Instead the fight was finished
Before I even knew it
