Evidence

By Travis Near
Hartford Memorial Middle School, Grade 8

There is no evidence,
That I'm innocent.
There is no evidence,
That I'm guilty.
My rights say,
Innocent until proven guilty,
My town says,
Guilty until proven innocent.
They have no evidence to lean on,
However neither do I.
My word is the only thing,
My lawyer has,
To defend my rights,
And also my freedom.
I hope the jury,
Sees my conviction as a fraud,
As a fake.
No evidence,
Either way.
No evidence,
No evidence.
