The verdict

I pleaded guilty
The court has accepted
The verdict was fair
Yet crime not detected
I looked in the eyes of the
motionless Jury
And knew that I was under pressure of lure
When I put my wet palm on
the thick Holy Bible
Just then I was facing my first
real trouble
But I had to admit, and I had to regret
To forgive, to repent, to pray
and forget
I have made them believe me
I have made them to cry
Only then I could hear:
“Execute and let die!”
