In the Courtroom

There is no true right or wrong,

Only differing eyes in which we see through,

And different people who we speak too.

In this man's eyes, he had not done anything,

Anything wrong.

He says it was an instinct, simply self-defence. 

And I could agree.

It depends on what he was thinking, what he was feeling.

But here, inside the court room,

those thoughts, those feelings, they don't matter.

Everyone now sees through the eyes of the law.

We judge based on actions, 

The facts.

And those facts are,

that a man, was killed.

He was murdered, 

and this man, 

sitting in this very room, 

although he may have held no ill intent,

killed him.

This lawyer dude says this murderer is guilty

[Sympathy Heart]

wow. This just goes to show society doesn't care about the entire story. Sad really. Another great piece!

[Crimson Apples]

Thanks =)

It is apparent that from time to time in this life and in this world for the preservation of our life and of our world we must engage in lethal self-defense.

[Crimson Apples]

yeah. I hate getting in trouble for defending myself, and how it can make someone, a "bad person" or stupid and violent. I like your comment though, thanks for taking the time to do so =)

murder has no justification, neither does any other violence... But from time to time we all forget that. You know, my favorite band made a song about "sin" and they made a perfect point : "as long as people are around, they will sin."

[Crimson Apples]

What's the song called? And true point. It's awesome how they simplified that.

Pokolgép : A bűn
it's Hungarian...lol

[Crimson Apples]

Ze magic of google will aid me on my way. Are you hungarian? If you don't mind me asking....

[Dani The Unreviewed]

yes, i am. otherwise, I'd have a tough time knowing the worlds fourth hardest language.
vagy, talán nem is olyan nehéz?

[Crimson Apples]

Dang! That's cool. That's really cool. How many languages can you speak? And I have no idea what that last line said!

[Dani The Unreviewed]

i know three languages. so far :) Hungarian, English, Serbian. and that's all for now. trying to learn Spanish... xD
the last line said "or maybe it's not all that hard? "

[Dani The Unreviewed]

[Crimson Apples]

[Dani The Unreviewed]

[Crimson Apples]
