    "No Pardon For Me"

    I'm sentenced.
    Sentenced to life in this dank cell of misery.
    I can see the key-
    it hangs there,
    just out my finger's reach,
    dangling there in a mock of freedom.

    There will be no pardon for me,


    no stay of this execution.
    My life has convicted me
    for crimes I did not commit.
    My penalty meted out.
    I followed every rule,
    broke no laws,
    have more than paid my fines
    to society's shun upon me.
    There was no fair trial,
    no chance for me to plead my case.

    The jurors were sent from hell,


    quick to judgement
    and showed no mercy
    as they read their verdict.
    Life/Death, what does it matter?
    Its all the same in this prison.
    I am but a mere victim,
    the criminal has gotten away,
    while I do the time
    for fate's crimes against me.
    I can't escape the hounds they'd release,
    should I attemp escape,
    for the walls and barbed wires
    are too painful to scale
    and the hounds would scent my fear.
    So I sit here,
    waiting...
    waiting for the day they walk me
    that longest mile,
    waiting for the flow of their poison
    to seep within' my veins.
    That lethal injection
    that will finally end this misery of a soul so wrongfully convicted to die.
    Conscience

    I wept, I cried so hard. But this tears cant bring back my sister to life. My
    being brought here by my conscience. I want to ask forgiveness. But can
    she still hear? O heart, forgive me for what I have done, please bring peace
    to mind.

    Dry leaves were crushed down below. As if to freshen my memories that her
    life perished because of my selfishness.

    She was my only sister. Since our childhood, I always believed that I was the
    favorite of our dad. One night, while I was facing all about to the mirror, with
    my micro mini, I puffed powder, when I saw Luisas face, reflecting in the
    mirror. "You cant get out tonight, Lucille." I heard a threatening tone from
    her. I turned to her, but I cant resist at her sharp stare at me. "And who
    says so, my dear sister?" "We are to celebrate Mommas death anniversary,
    you know that dont you?" In a relaxed and condescending voice, I replied
    "well I dont care. Im going out to party tonight!"

    Then I heard a knock on the door. I shouted "Help Papa!" for I knew that it
    was he. I pulled my hair, I tore my dress away as I was attacked by a squad
    of monstrous creatures. When the door opened the site Papa saw was that
    Luisa was holding my neck who was trying to make a rescue. But I cried so
    hard that made Papa grew to the height of anger. He threw Luisa to the
    corner, where the head of my poor sister was hit at the edge of the chair.

    I slowly rejoiced for I have made a successful revenge. But when she lifted, I
    saw a different sparkle in her tearful eyes. "Ha ha ha ha ha!" O my, Luisa,
    she went out of her mind. I was not able to move, as well as Papa. Both of
    us were motionless. And before we returned to our senses, Luisa ran to the
    door and proceeded to the open gate of our house. We followed her calling
    out her name. "Luisa!" "Sister!" "Luisa" "Sister" "Luisa the Truck!" "Dont
    cross the road, Luisa, the truck dont Dont DONT!"

    The next sight I saw was that Luisa was thrown five meters away from the
    truck. I ran to her and embraced her. Blood was all over her face. In a low
    but distinct voice she murmured, that made my heart break so much. She
    said, "Lucille, please be a good girl. I love you. Please be a good girl coz
    Papa loves you very much."

    "Luisa? Luisa? Sister sister!!!" From that moment I cried so hard for killing
    my only sister, who loved and cared for me, even at the last moment of her
    life.
    Now can you blame me, for asking God to forgive me? Forgive me dear God,
    Forgive me!
