Right In Time

Contributed by jyssvw on Sunday, 10th April 2005 @ 08:22:35 PM in AEST
Topic: oops

Jacob of Nazareth
Targeted in the crossfire
Accused of a felony
His dead wife, his only alibi
There has been a murder
The weapon remains unfound
In the shiny Arabian desert
You’re guilty until you’re found-
Innocent, he was not
For his confession
Conceded the plot
Sleep depravation
And chronic starvation
Frontal lobes-
Enduring a tingly sensation
A man always breaks
When his family is at stake
Sentence to rot
In a prison cell
Or a pre-dug grave plot
Forever alone
With no one to talk to but
His ancestor’s bones
Then it was discovered
Something had been left uncovered
The murdered man
Was dead no more
He had simply been in a comma
Drunk on the floor
And as the chair
That propped Jacob up
Was kicked out from under him
His neck cracked then snapped
He hung there, swaying
Back and forth
His loved ones cried in torn cloth
Then a letter was brought forth
He had been pardoned
Of his heinous crime
He was ordered free
Right “in the nick of time”

nicely done...

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
