Conversation over dinner:
Man locked up
He was innocent
Charged with murder.
They don’t believe a word that came out of his mouth

Cell door
Locked Tight
Hand cuffs hang on his wrists
He cries that he is innocent
Guard laughs,
Yeah, right.
What do you take me for?

Officers out on the prowl
Searching for a case:
Troublemakers
Next day,
Headlines scream
Police found dead on the job!
What Will Happen Next?

New man
New case
New judge
More tears
What a suck up Thought the man
as the so-called “eye witness” sobs and shakes

All depends on this now
They glare
Causing him to shake
No more
of this torture
