hands raised

guilty as charged, my friends, guilty as charged!

parading around the courtroom in front of my peers and the judge
admitting my guilt, and freely!

i am guilty of not trying hard enough,
of not believing enough,
of giving in to the darkness.

the sigh of disbelief and the jury stops listening to the defense

we all know there isn't any point
in continuing

except for the farcical value of comedy.
