At the Gaol

here Title: At the Gaol Despair, Pain, Justice, Fury, Resilience, Grievance In this cell of misery Derek Chauvin lost his chance A blade in inmate’s hands soon put the justice to the test An act of rage, his desperate plea,22 thrusts, against the oppressor that had oppressed For too long his silence was the only way to survive Until a time had come to seek vengeance and revive The indignant shouts of an old wound in his heart Durability and poise is what makes us part A crime of passion, an anguish against a common fear To restore a balance, that could be kept near We must never forget those who endured the worst For only then can hope and justice re-emerge at last.
