Court of Discontent

In Justice

By James B Schlessinger Jr.

This terrible sickness
Where is the victim?
Where is the witness?

Swear in the truth
Tell you no lies
Lest ye be judged
By my own two eyes

The Circuit of circus
The Juggling of Justice

Will all hands be tied
When and innocent dies?
At the hands of a court
Is humanities demise

Laws to determine
What’s said in a sermon

Laws to endanger
“Radical” behavior

Laws to give voice
When we make a choice

Laws to enslave
From cradle to grave

    Gee, you're almost as good a poet, as I am a judge. Remember, both victims & witnesses are unnecessary in MY courtroom. Just remember, SIT DOWN!, SIT DOWN!,SIT DOWN!, sit down, sit down. Take him into custardly.

    That is some powerful alliteration, Sir.
