He was wrong, yet I set aside

Life is grumbling, harsh, and tainted, 
Clever knows where truth resides. 
I judged fairly, guilt was painted — 
He was wrong, yet I set aside. 

Mercy granted him his freedom, 
Words ignored the simple way. 
We rushed on, lost truth’s own kingdom, 
Justice faded far astray. 

Of twelve righteous who were judging, 
I declared the youth unjust. 
Poison hid in thoughts he’sudging, 
Yet no guile his sons distrust. 

Higher law I broke in fleeting, 
Freed them all, myself to blame. 
Boy and judges, all completing, 
I alone bear guilt’s dark name.
