An expression of my thoughts as my son struggles to right a wrong.
An unjust confrontation
revealing man in his true form
giving for one brief moment
insight into how injustice feels
has now turned around
doubled back and become a second wound
evil came and had his way
and great havoc has been wrought
and here is the innocent
at the threshold of his glorious moment
shut down and made to look like sin
turning the truth into a lie
with motivation of the deepest purity
to help provide for those dear to him
he persevered and worked his future
in spite of numerous obstacles—he ran
and now
was it for naught
it can’t be so
injustice cannot have the last word
