The Accused
By: Michael Vanderhoof
I’m not the one you’re looking for; I know nothing of this crime…
There is no evidence against me, I really haven’t got the time.
For I am just the victim here, your laws will set me free,
No crime have I committed, and the truth you’ll have to see.
The death was rather gruesome, and the blood was all around…
My presence near the body, is really all that you have found.
His body lay in pieces, all scattered upon the floor,
A horrific sight indeed, as you all came through the door.
The weapon was a dagger, which was never in my hand,
I keep speaking all these words to you, I hope you understand…
For, I am sticking to these words, as it will never cease.
My freedom will be fast and free, and I will live in peace.
His death was something thought about, in my mind a thousand times…
Secret dreams and fantasies, but never acted out as crimes.
I am only guilty of the deaths within my mind,
Where there are no laws or prisons, or anything of its kind.
