        Prisoner  weeps   silently

 It  is  not French medieval prison.
It is contemporary cell  for  the  branded
Criminal. Victim  branded by the  police
And law in force  but  not by the  legal,
 Judiciary.   Verdict  is   awaited.
  His guiltless ,free  conscience within  
 Weeps to the walls.  Not totally
Contemporary, ere Modernity took
Its   reels; cells   grind  his day
And  night.  One  day, from the
Platform took him, mauled him
For  drinking, slowly entangled
Him  for  a  murder, he didn’t
Have   an  iota  of clue. Ruthless
Police  could  only  show  their
Prowess on him .Whips their  rains ,
 Merciless,  Privilege on him,
for none he had To argue, for he was pauper,
His rags, his companion throughout.
 Chagrin of his life, his routine .
Yet, Meditation, prayer, his solace.
Sun’s  ray ,regular beam through the
 Cells ,affirms  to solace  him, intuition
Augurs  he will be scotfree.
