Muse blatantly blamed for actions
when fidgety fingers pulled trigger-
click, click~reload~click, click
he heard before all went blank.
Police pressed into his conscious,
asked questions of who, what, where
and why did he do this horrific deed
yet nothing escaped to entrap
an innocent misunderstanding in mind.
Wife committed crimes against his heart
but forgiveness flowed throughout
also absence made her Spirit detour
into a co-workers arms.
Paranoia wanted to prove them wrong,
powdered residue planted on fingers
by someone who wanted to wreck havoc
for fault should be pointed at person
with the scent of her essence harbored
alongside some secrets kept,
she spilled from lips.
His Church stood by him, believed words
from accused used to corner this lamb,
the flock supported in Savior’s name.
Medication he missed contributed to control
being out of control during time temper
flared to highest degree, death occurred
though his supporters blurted blasphemy.
CSI collected, concluded match of prints
plus DNA determined one in a million
and he was the one only sympathy plea
swayed female jurors who disagreed,
set him free when faced in trial.
Acquittal due to dementia onset, severe:
psychiatrist pitched then paid handsomely
under the table while lawyer left country;
the legality of their licenses under review.
A smile smeared crimson on pictures
in album of past lives defendant lived
behind children buried by own hands
throttled around throat
while women were mentally tortured
until he pulled trigger- click, click
then pleaded insanity to the ignorant
who set him free.
