Sealed Fate

In a stall,/ or cage,/ displayed under a harsh spotlight,/ they hastily scrutinize for mistakes I had hand-made last night./ Now i'm stallin' for time/ with scrawled lines/ of rhymes,/ while awaiting sentencing/ for all my crimes.// I fashion sentences/, of repeating penances/ for forgiveness of my menaces./ Lastly,/ it is// a tragedy,/ actually,/ what I did today/ but after the travesty,/ we can put the convicted away.// Ride 'til we die,/ every day but not ask why// when we could better our lives;/ a believable lie.// I am relieving stress/ the best way I know how// but I guess it doesn't really matter all that much now../ 'cause i'm still waiting in line/ for a reclined chair// head about to be buzzed but not talking about trimming hairs/ and all I can think,/ waiting to pay the price,/ is the point of life's you only get one shot at it;/ ya, that's right///
