Hello? Hello? Any one here?

A rapping on the door

Like a gavel on the podium.

No answer,

Just silence.

She’s gone.

*

The judge has come

Yet she’s not here

Not present at her own hearing.

No matter

Who cares?

Not me.

*

The jury sits

And hears convictions

The sentence predetermined

Not moving

Not breathing

They’re dead.

*

A witness is needed

A witness is found

Call upon sanity

Neglected

And wasted

Uh oh

*

She’s on trial

Guilty of silence

Guilty of insanity

She’s guilty

She knows

She ran

*

In her defense

Her silence is punctured

Only by her screams

No peace

No quiet
