Evidence
Evidence
By Miles Latham
Hartford Memorial Middle School, Grade 8
Evidence is a mighty thing.
It can save a convict's life,
And it can put an honest man in jail.
It can solve an ancient crime,
And it can get a poor chap off bail.
But the real mystery
Is not whether evidence has stood the test of time--
But whether time has stood the test of evidence.
Evidence always knows the answer,
But no one may hear it until it's too late.
