Freedom of religion, so that people from all...

One night at a bar, I took a drink from a glass

Realized it was alcohol, and became an ass

Blacked out and fell, and tripped on my feet

Stumbling and crying, alone in the dark street

Once people chose I side, they rarely ever changed it. You knew that. But… That small, stubborn part of you still wante...

“Daniel.” The soft voice of the judge rings out in my head bringing me back to my senses. Moving my head up I look at the judges eyes, my breathing becoming short and shallow. The sweat on my hands getting a bit more sweaty.

Swallowing t...

“Your honour, I plea innocent.” I insist, with folded hands and a straightened posture. I’m certain I can sway this jury, before the judge beats the stand. It doesn’t help that every time I glance down to my palms, they appear red-stained, I have yet to know why. The jury can’t see my blood stained hands, can they? Is that why my case is so helpless?

I didn’t kill anyone, I didn’t. I wouldn’t har...

“Your honor, I’d like to say something to the jury before closing remarks, if you would allow” I asked. The judge didn’t seem to impressed with me at this point in time, but if I didn’t say something they would sentence me to life.
