Law and claws

Convicted of the crime that you’ve committed,

You will absolve the guilt.

Convicted of the crime that you haven’t committed,

You will curse the guilt.

Acquitted of the crime that you haven’t

committed,

You will evict the guilt.

Acquitted of the crime that you’ve committed,

You will die of the guilt.

To escape from law

is to succumb to conscience’s claw.
