"acquitted" poems
One day tears will hit my cheeks - raging hail and empty streets. One day joy will kiss my lips - soft balloon and vacation trips. One day sickness will swell my throat - fevered flesh and ***** coats. One day health will sing my song - common loon and acquitted wrongs. One day weakness will force me down - rusty bridge and broken crowns. One day strength will lift my arms - solid rock and dairy farms. One day fear will eat my heart - barking dog and missing parts One day faith will keep my beat - mustard seed and new feats. One day pain will fill my core - blazing fire and open sores. One day love will lead my legs - kind words and scrambled eggs. One day hate will my itch my knees - long distance and sneaky fees. One day peace will tickle my toes - green grass and escaping prose.

Rollercoaster Life
Anwar Ibrahim Convicted of ****** in 2008 Acquitted in 2012 The Court of Appeal overturned the acquittal He is currently serving his sentence An aide to Anwar Said he was sodomized by Anwar ****** even if consensual Is punishable by up to 20 years in Malaysia Anwar responded the complaint was politically motivated Support for Anwar grown stronger His wife is battling his conviction Some say that political rival Dr. Mahathir Will recover from his decrease in popularity And remain in control Because he helped Malaysia through a though economic time Although it seems as though Anwar is gaining support From a majority of the Malaysian people Human rights groups accused Malaysia's government of using An anachronistic colonial era law that criminalizes "Carnal *********** against the order of nature" To persecute Anwar Anwar leads a three-party opposition that has become Increasingly popular in the predominantly Muslim nation This is not just Anwar has been wrongly accused I will pray for his wife And his supporters Stay strong Anwar You are an innocent man

Anwar Ibrahim Wrongly Accused
This terribleness. The blur of traffic lights and puddles paints Los Angeles on my face at night. It's so hard to know who will doze in my blind spots. Sunflower seeds and ******* lining the carpet. I sat on the front porch for five hours gutting the wolves from my appendices. Usually the headaches go away with the squashing of the lights. Fluorescents are the worst, halogens second, and 60-watt 120-volt light bulb the bane of my existence. I look at my phone but I cannot summon a quirky 120 character quip. I need excedrin but all I have to grape flavored children's aspirin. I should have asked for the water. How many unfinished glasses of water have I left around this world? Maybe Bruce and I will squash after work. I can hear his weekly catalog of two night stands with those married transient women who drive from Santa B. I hate golf, I could have made carried a career in this resentment. Maybe rolling down the window will alleviate some of this pressure. Maybe it's barometric pressure, The Baby is here in time to drag the houses out to sea. It feels like Michelangelo is carving The David in my head and it's the chiseling I've never wanted. It's Tuesday and the drugs were horrible. They killed five of them today. We wrapped their heads in blankets from the Thrifty, and had to have the interns find clothes that would fit for the Christian caskets. Two days until Giving Thanks Day. I am wrapped in copper and stuck in amber. I am acquitted by nonsense and stipulation, sick with nausea and pushing my forehead into the steering wheel. This is all terrible. The lying I've never told myself. The people that don't even know it's lying. Her and I always seem to escape with our happiness and pleasure in tow. The odds are slim, but our clothes have never fit too tightly.

*"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God..." Romans 3:23* Jane woke up In a strange bed Liquor on her breath She lit up a cigarette She knew that it was death. She watched him Put his pants on Before he went to work She thought He was a loser She thought He was a **** She walked out his doorway Back out on the street   She now had $60 So she went out to eat She observed the customers The waitress and the cook How could She keep on living With the guilt She felt - the looks? They all knew her business Her clothing said it all So they sat in judgment Nailed her to the wall. She left with shame Surrounding her There was no disguise She left with face A flaming red Tears burning In her eyes She walked by an outreach Walked in with Other knaves She felt she might Find some help The sign said, "JESUS SAVES". Sue woke beside her hubby In a nice suburban home She went and made Him breakfast He came down Well groomed. He went to Good employment He had a sterling past She put on her makeup And went to Yoga class Then the doctor's office Her tests negative again She filled out the Paperwork And thoughtlessly Took their pen Then she drove To Wal-Mart In a hurry She was late For her next appointment For the lunch Which her friends ate She went in to Meet them That's when She saw Jane She looked with derision. That ***** ***** again. She consumed her salad "The girls" laughter Met Jane's ears That's what caused Her face to blush That's what Caused her tears. Sue drove home. She cut cars off, Not thinking it depraved. Jane walked in the outreach With the legend "JESUS SAVES". Two very different women Died & went to God It was then Something happened... Definitely odd! Jane went before The Father He looked at her list. All the things Which she had done All the marks she'd missed But He then Acquitted her! He hugged her with love! For to HIM Her page was *blank For He saw JESUS' BLOOD!* Sue then stood Before Him He looked at Her short note. All things done UNKNOWINGLY Were what The angels wrote. How she'd transgressed Her husband By taking him For granted How she'd taken The doctor's pen And other things She wanted How she and her friends Had laughed at A girl in pain... That the woman's guilty That much was Quite plain... So Jane was then succored Sue went on bereft Jane stood on the right hand Sue stood to the left. For Jane was FORGIVEN Her joy had no end... Sue eternal torment Because she was CONDEMNED. What's your stance, My people? Will you stand or FALL? For God is always watching And He judges US ALL. SøułSurvivør (C) 10/2/2017

I never knew where she got the bones But she spread them out in the grate, And said to me that the way they fell Would tell her about my fate. I’d gone to her for the Tarot Cards, I’d been told that she was a wiz, But didn’t know what a wizard was Till I met this girl called Liz. She wasn’t a witch, she said to me, For witches were too mundane, They only had spells and love potions And most of them were insane. But she could look into the future with The bones of the been and gone, They helped to focus her visions on The land of the to and from. She spoke in riddles and teased my mind In a language I didn’t know, I asked her what I was headed for, She said I had far to go. She told me about my love, Christine, And the secret plans she bore, She wasn’t, as I had thought, pristine, But had men in tow, by the score. I asked her about the wedding that We’d planned for along the track, She said, I’d never be happy then, Better get married in black. She scattered the bones for a second time And they fell about in the grate, ‘If you go on with your plans,’ she said, ‘You’re in for a dismal fate.’ ‘There’s blood,’ she said, ‘and a kitchen knife, A terrible slashing and cries, ‘I don’t know when, but it’s after then, And a crazy look in your eyes. Then someone lies on the kitchen floor In a horrible pool of blood, And footprints there, and a tipped up chair Where somebody walked in mud.’ The wedding went as we’d always planned, I never gave it a thought, And Christine put on my wedding band She didn’t think she’d be caught. A man came round to the house one day To say that Christine was his, I took good note of his muddy boots And suddenly thought of Liz. He came at me with a kitchen knife And said that he’d set her free, I’d thought the knife had been meant for her, But no, it was meant for me. I seized his arm and we struggled then While Christine stood in the door, I somehow managed to turn the knife And he lay dead on the floor. ‘Why did you set him loose on me,’ I cried, ‘the son of a gun, What was the vow you made to me That I’d be the only one.’ But Christine cried, and she knelt by him, Her lover, down on the floor, ‘I told him before he shouldn’t come, But he said that he loved me more.’ I was acquitted for self-defence When the case came up for court, And later I found that Christine went She wasn’t the loyal sort. I went again to the Oracle And I spilled the bones with Liz, While she laid on me a gentle kiss And said, ‘It’s what it is!’ David Lewis Paget

Sometimes I dream of that night. I think if it wasn't summer, everything would have been different. But it was just so hot. In my dreams, the world is an oven. I'm baking, roasting, broiling. It was 108 degrees that day, 80% humidity. Someone was once acquitted on the ******* defense. Isn't the heat defense just as good? If it wasn't so hot, I wouldn't have done it. But it was. And I did. And secret number two, I'm not sorry.

Heat Wave
Come to me O Spirit Come to me On High For in me Faith is waning And I feel like I could die Give me strength To console my mind From trespasses committed For doing things the things I condemn And You’ve already acquitted Come to me O Spirit Come to me On High That I may not be a hypocrite So I may not live a lie Help me now to give all The Grace You give to me Break me down to know You well Remove from me this pride Bring love into this shell For if distaste should sit In the same mouth as Your Name Then I should reap the benefits Of my shallow game

Forgive
Excuse my proclaimed innocents But it's my finest stroke of brilliance This grievance is a hindrance Balance lost in an instance I am being convicted For a crime I may or may not have committed A judge and jury will have sentenced me before my guilt can be omitted The crime and punishment Aren't fitted Because it's a punishable offence That I never owned up to or admitted Trial me for your sake Truth will see me acquitted See I seek the justice in who I am I am not worse or better my friend My sanity should not be on trial Is it you or I that is in denial I have no regrets or pretence I have a tough skin that just doesn't relent I have a lifetime sentence Time already spent The shackles and cuffs Don't tie me to your argument For I am freedom in a pen Try as you might Come and come at me again I'll write you a sentence You will never see light again Torture and hang me Walk me down dead mans row The soul inside me Is stronger than you could no Beat me Bash me Bury me alive My written words Will be the parts of me strong enough to endure and survive x

Falsely accused x
When Colton went missing, my life changed in every expected and unexpected way and i no longer had solid footing on any ground when it came to what i could hold onto as unwavering belief in or count on as fact. I think I decided very early on after his disappearance that I had either totally ****** up his life and failed as his mother and I had caused this to happen and it was all my fault and I was to blame and no punishment was sufficient enough to repair the grievous damage i had inflicted onto him OR I was totally egotistical, full of myself, shallow, superficial, self righteous, attention seeking, even vain and his leaving had absolutely not one **** thing to do with me. For the last 5 yrs I have mentally put myself on trial and the prosecuting attorney looks just like that crazed Glen Close from the movie Fatal Attraction and all memories of the 17 1/2 years I had of raising Colton are admissible evidence. Very rarely when I am questioned, harassed, looked upon with utter contempt and asked to redirect my answer only to the question as demanded by "Ms. Close", that defending myself hasn't left me completely physically exhausted and mentally drained and spent from having to defend myself or concede once again of my guilt. I don't know if I will ever allow myself to become acquitted of these self imposed charges that i mentally taunt myself with but since finding these stories about Larry, Justin and Colton and reading about such hilarious and heartwarming moments, some which made me laugh so hard that i cried, that mean judgmental ***** hasn't felt the need to put me on the stand lately

It’s funny, you know you shouldn’t do it. But then, when you lay there at the end of the day, With your head spinning, You know that you blew it. Tin after tin assisting the spin, Memories within kept under your skin, Revolving and turning and wearing you thin, Those long lost has-beens, Inducing your sin. You see, for me, I’m an ideas man, my brain constantly thinking, Amplified and catalysed by the substance I’m drinking, But it’s the thinking that’s linking my drinking to ink in, These words, While you sit there mistaking my wincing for winking, ...absurd. Excuses excuses, While abusing the juices, Cause mere minor muses, To produce abstruse bruises, Your conduct confuses, Peering, peers peruses, Refusing acceptance induces, Further misuses of boozes. The taste is wasted, On the embracing flavours, As without haste you lay your, Minimum pay wages down, On the bar for more inebriation, You try but you fail to Waiver your behaviour, But instead pave your way, To your bottled slave labour. It didn’t start out this way, it provided fun out of the blue, To the problem I was blind as the issue grew and grew, One turns to two, Three increased to more, Upon fixed shoulders heads askew, Same face, different man, I assure. Down the hatch they say, bottoms up, cheers! As the liquor disappears it descends and it sears, Wipe away the tears from the boozey souvenir, And await that blissful place with no anxiety, no fears. I understand why some find it bizarre, How a soul can solely seek only for the jar, My own experience has brought me in this far, So now, this time, it’s time for me to start... ...Raising the bar, By erasing the bar!! Now I’ve admitted I have a problem, I’m committed to drawing a line at the bottom, Of my past I can’t be acquitted but of my future I can blossom, No truth dismissive in reality this autumn. So that’s it for now, I’m wagon bound, I’m on off this big adventure, I’ve been a clown, to let it get me down, Too long in this game I’ve been a contender, Feet on the ground, I’ll no longer frown, From the pleasure faked, with measure after measure, Sorrows no longer drowned, I’ll be around, And my life, from now, will get better.

It's been three sunrises since my eyes have closed Ain't had a drink in one long week There's toil and trouble, my brain is like rubble My vision is blurry Mine eyes doth see double My conscience has not been acquitted I sold it to the highest bidder My brain is a mess, a pawn within chess By my demons, I've been slighted There's much to confess Ambition had been twisted in unscrupulous knots I stared blankly at the ceiling until the sun rose My mind is a maze; I've been up for days My stomach is empty My demons sing praise I haphazardly buried my reckless past Indeed, it repaid me with a cruel vengeance Collecting my fears through so many years I've poisoned my body With too many beers...

Too Many Bee...I Mean, Years
Ripping up flowers Tearing off petals Shooting down stars Watching them fall Snatching up broken dreams Burying them all Six feet under I hope my tears Drown out the sound Echoing in your ears Of screaming and pleading For all these years Overgrown weeds And heavy grey clouds Even shadows have shadows Guess everyone has a past Threw my penny into the well Well, I guess that didn’t end up too well. It’s like you were Jack and I was Jill But it wasn’t Jill who took the spill It was jack who fell Under the spell Of that little girl Jill Who had the best will And intentions Full of questions Bright eyed And engaging Optimistically waiting For the right guy To happen on by Well once she met Jack She never looked back And that was that A fairytale ending Except that wishing well Went straight to hell And that water was poisoned That penny corroded Exposing the truth The ignorance of youth You weren’t all you seemed A wolf in sheep’s clothing Bursting at the seams The real you came through But that’s old news What’s worse is I stayed Even though day after day It all was the same Routine You think I would have learned But I didn’t And you were only acquitted When death finally admitted You to its domain I hope it rains Every day Over your **** grave And that the most beautiful flowers Grow just out of reach Not visible between weeds And that when the leaves change And the snow falls You’re left with nothing Nothing at all But the miserable company Of what’s left of your “love” for me.

It’s like you were Jack and I was Jill But it wasn’t Jill who took the spill It was jack who fell Under the spell Of that little girl Jill Who had the best will And intentions Full of questions Bright eyed And engaging Optimistically waiting For the right guy To happen on by Well once she met Jack She never looked back And that was that A fairytale ending Except that wishing well Went straight to hell And that water was poisoned That penny corroded Exposing the truth The ignorance of youth You weren’t all you seemed A wolf in sheep’s clothing Bursting at the seams The real you came through But that’s old news What’s worse is I stayed Even though day after day It all was the same Routine You think I would have learned But I didn’t And you were only acquitted When death finally admitted You to its domain I hope it rains Every day Over your **** grave And that the most beautiful flowers Grow just out of reach Not visible between weeds And that when the leaves change And the snow falls You’re left with nothing Nothing at all But the miserable company Of what’s left of your “love” for me.

Listen intently now, if you will, To the sorrowful story of Emmett Till-- A black fourteen-year-old lad Who hadn't done what they said he had In August of 1955. It's possible he could still be alive If only he…if only…well, Listen to what I have to tell. Caught in one of those circumstances Of having made ****** advances, Till, whose actions were taken for granted-- Note: his accuser later recanted-- Was brutally tortured, lynched, and shot. His body was left in the river to rot Not very far from Glendora, Miss. How shocking to hear stories like this! Two white men, in a great hurry, Were later acquitted by an all-white jury. Such incidents are a wound indeed On the soul of America. Watch it bleed! In 2007 a sign was erected At the site of the ****** but someone objected, And suddenly the sign disappeared, Just as many people had feared. A second sign replaced number one, But thugs seeking perverse fun Destroyed the sign with bullets, and so Sign number two had to go. Officials did what they had to do, And sign number three replaced number two. Within a few weeks, it, too, was marred With bullet holes leaving it scarred. The bullet-riddled sign demonstrates There's work left to do in all fifty states. Prejudice and hatred are blinding; The road to justice is long and winding. -by Bob B (8-21-18)

The ****** of Emmett Till
Mentor Shakespeare! He said that expectation was the thief of all joy. (Or was it his cousin Comparison? It might not make a difference.) If I may address you, Adhered--blessed Grandfather of my soul's art, My God's created conduit to His inspiration that flows through me constantly, The ceaseless voice I can never shake off-- I feel this is my only release In the pain I feel --Blessed grandfather, And Father, Ease me in this tumult: I was inclined after a few Short grasps of eyes meeting eyes A shared Smile Maybe then I thought, The loneliness could be lifted, Drifted, Acquitted, Only just for a moment! Only just for a brief break from the drab outline of the life I call mine! (And yet, it is not!) I thought perhaps I was worth a moment Of a precious creation's time. Was it not commonplace to build such dreams In the sand of my stormy shore'd mind But Fathers, What sparks! What electricity can bring down the tallest tower that stands alone in the barrenness of the world, To an elevated illumination in the highest clouds of the most brilliant heaven of Love! Ah, the sharpness of the memories jolts me still! But what of it? All my visions are turned to naught, And I have been struck down And returned to the far corners where I am unreached. Alone and unsought, Feasibly content, the tallest tower remains in its solitude, Unaware that the absence of life cannot render a knowledge of its true state. What a sad shape we are in, To expect the world, over a single pearl found On the tossed beach of the soul.

Nothing on my mind but a tired eye heavier the slits close tighter wanting to be shut A yawn assumes my destiny sleepless I sit and loathe being awake To dream, to conquer, to be everything I make A gleam of bursting tangible light, humming The tune as if the bulb were turned too tight as my head bobs up and down Like the nods of the yes-men, the beggars and their plows, Acquitted with nonsense foretold tomorrows vows

Humming
The twenty-one gun jury’s been hung, my assumed verdict, overthrown. Acquitted by the left hand, condemned by the right, a last request— Think not of me as an aberration, although perhaps I am, Do not know where I shall go nor care if there is anything after. let me be absolved -- For all that remains is the weight of thought that rages through me, the rapid pendulum. I am not innocent. There is no recourse. In this solitude, the only existence is being alone and depressed and the tearing of my skin Sweet Steel, slip silently in.

The Suicide
Two conflicting thoughts, but three inflicted hearts, and one convicted by the time of the clock. His heart stained by the sharp pain of a reclaimed memory. His heart he gave to her and said it was her’s to bleed. She gave it back to him and said it wasn’t hers to see. He gave his heart away again, to a girl who needed a friend. Then the friend accepted it and, gave up hers to him. Time flew by in blurs, their sweet words slurred and reverbed in his mind, which was refurbished. He referred to his past as garbage, recycling out the skirmish thoughts. Her allure had him squirmish and nervous, out of his box. The mask he used to speak of, the one that claimed to defeat love, had reached it’s peak of deceit of, his mind. All this time he had told himself to hide, but the feeling of her skin had made him feel so alive. That she broke down all the barriers that he had stacked up high, by means of drugs and alcohol, death and suicide. He stays committed mainly because to her he is addicted, permitted to admit it, he’s pitted against his visions. Omitted, acquitted forgiveness. Promises transmitted into words, but verbs are quickly emitted. But the war that’s waging in his head is something truly wicked. The **** he puts up with constantly has pushed him to his limit. He will never give in, to the sin that had him spinned out, from the end to begin. She was everything he needed to get him through the day. She became his routine, a content place he chose to stay. But the very thing he wanted had seemed to come back into play, but they settled on these subtle terms, rules unmeant to break. She respected what he had, though she still seemed so sad, and he was mad at himself for not appreciating what he had. The bad thing is the the what if factor. What if she said yes, would it even had mattered? Could he really make her happy? Would he only make her madder. He can never talk about it, and risk a kick to the bladder. Talking at her getting madder. “Really wasn’t supposed to add her, couldn’t out her anymore, love her more then mass does matter. We chitter and we chatter, then I hit her with the truth, she accepts it but I’m guessing that there’s no hole in this loop.”

The energy is protected and restricted from the wicked the system is shifted and twisted parts of it omitted The lines of codes are scripted to the listed Chords are obstructed and rejected. Life is lifted and gifted everything is permitted and reflected. The wands that frees its course way and the cups that brings love at noon day The star for only whom is granted committed uplifting of the acquitted The numbers for notification and feathers for its authentication used as justification Life brings a vacation with a positive celebration, Spiritualization!

Spiritualization
once upon a time, there were two peas in a pod. true partners in crime; envied, was their facade. they kept each other's secrets, at least one pea did. a few spilled, the other admits. she was reluctantly acquitted. forgiven again and again, deteriorating the bond's trust. controlling her best friend, their connection doomed to combust. the big blow up never happened, one pea just rolled away. her life is now unburdened, ready for a brand new day.

A new leaf...
Word spoke in malice, turn to silver as they roll off the tongue maniacally. Intention of a depraved notion swivel backward in their motions. Evil succumbing to the power of provocation. The sin and burden of wrathful anger trickled down into one simple action.   An act of devotion... The willful way of degradation. Hypersensitive reaction to the extraction. Asking to be acquitted of your transgression... How does a Devil ask an Angel to condone such an act of wickedness? Trespassing on unhallowed ground, and living within a ****** lie. The error of time... Feathers of white on a whim of a demon. When does the madness of your demise separate oneself from the act of humanity. In death? Or in the will to live? These question have been asked from the beginning of time. The answer are yet, still to be found. Find solace within yourself. Stop letting the sins of others weigh into uneven hands. They're not your's to own or to even know. In lieu the knowledge I have bestowed. Go forth and live your life. Happy, peaceful and in the never ending search of grace.

Never Ending...
Flirt with the truth through gentle irony avoid attachment and deflect in subtlety If I admit it, am I absolved? or acquitted of this middle brow, middle class, half caring, and half-assed, cowardly bravery sharp witted and forked tongue, thick skinned, with mask on cutting to protect, to shelter and deflect this parade of cynicism is wearing thin broken homes make broken bones, too late and so long just move along, why try to belong if community is (just) monotony? Are there worse things to be? Where is fulfillment if this is my penitence? just stay what you are to think and say, and just make do these swords won’t help they only open wounds you can’t mend with irony the truth is in the delivery just say it but don’t mean it just say it but don’t believe it just say it and hide in the irony

Truth In Delivery
Sin breeds death expected life turns into still borns No heart beat and no brain function As the Father morns A death sentenced placed on the first Adam He wasn't the best Adam So God send the perfected Adam Birthed from the portal of a ****** Lady Humanity could not cure itself The world crazy from the bite like a bodies reaction to rabies You see our righteousness is that of a rag Soaked in the T-Virus That's why the street filled with the walking dead. But who can turn ****** into conception death to life The one who willingly died So we could reflect his light Took the beating that was meant for us The guilty acquitted. O.J. Simpson The embodiment of true innocence Marching with the thoughts of Trayvon Martin while we all are George Zimmerman Dead in sin At the crossroads of an eternal separation The King on the cross with his shoulders separated Arms open wide like I will accept this Your accepted His death looked like a curse Satan like I'm victorious there's  no question But our God is sovereign The Sun rose on the third day broke across the horizon The son rose on the third day broke the back of the Leviathan The slain lamb rose into a Lion Mighty and meek The everlasting King Awestruck wonder as righteousness breathes
