Humane Perspective
If I was the Judge & your daughter the Offender
Would you want me to prosecute based on paperwork?
Or what’s within her?
If she was raped or abused would you want to lock her up with the truth
Or give reason to her voice?
If your niece committed a crime & robbed a guy
Would you be ok with sentencing her to time without knowing why
Or would you try to tap into her mind?
I ask these questions
Because it happened to me
With no objection no genuine protection
At is I was sentenced to 20 years doing time
Which mean a waste of 10 years of my life
10 years until I can pursue my dream career
10 years I’m not there to wipe my mother’s tears
Or help my little brother face his fears
Its things like this that at times make me feel I’m alone
But then I look at my surroundings
I realize everybody else is also drowning
Stressing fighting depression
This could have easily been you
Put yourself in my shoes
1 slip up 1 mistake
That’s all it takes for the judge to take your life away
