An Innocent Man

Standing in the
courtrooms of hell
waiting to be sentenced
by the devil himself

A lonely man
stares into insanity
Not caring about life or death

Standing there
on a false confession
that he knew
would end his life

Nobody knows
how many people knew
he didn't commit the crime
Because nobody cared

They sent him to his death
