my son

it happened in the blink of an eye
they came and took you away.

they blamed you.
they questioned you.
they took my son away from me.

it isn't a good feeling,
to know your son is on trial..
for felony murder.

who knows?
I may never see my son
NOT behind bars,
ever again.

I'm standing tall and staying strong.
because I know you will be
proven not-guilty.

I always had faith,
you would stay out of troubles way.
but here,
I have been proven wrong.
