The Raged Cattle
It Casts a Hate Shadow
Inside the Cage, Rattled
Awaits a Great Battle
Piercing eyes forced
Through blackened hearts torn
Twisting steel Born
With angered horns
Real, their shiny sharpened tips
Slicing, poking, making rips
Blind by red the blood lust drips
Freed, this slave just waits and sits
Circumstantial imprisonment happens quite often. Justice is a fiction told to people desperate for a fantasy to believe in. Put the animal in a cage long enough and watch it respond to its environment.

The interrogator with the evidence, the reports, the witnesses and the accusations is always the last to know the truth. Left with only assumptions.
The suspect without any of the evidence, any report or witness enters knowing he’s innocent from the start. A fact memory serves well.
Yet, six months training, a badge and a gun convince the interrogator his intuition is more valid than personal experience.

Preconceptions get twisted and morphed.
Friends and family who knew more kept silent.

But... 'Merca.
Read More...the pretender isn’t strong enough.
Not to calm fears of recoding the system.
Not to forget margin for error.
Zipped lips with sick slick words and an unpickable locks tick quick building up for the explosion.
Increasing pressure meeting resistance must be equal or greater in energy value to said resistance to avoid collapse. Overfilling can result in a system breach and total failure of resistance.
Imaginary handcuffs for the judged
Ignorance holds the key.
A prison cell of conformity.
Embodied...
