Adrenaline

The legal system is business operated by officers and boys in the street The legal system is a business fashioned to target the vulnerable and the weak The people who cannot defend themselves or don't have a voice of their own are ambushed abused, humiliated and tossed around. I have live a sacred life and kept myself circumspect And they have been trying very hard to ruin my spiritual life I parked my car in the parking lot and went towards the county's court house Suddenly a Hispanic woman jumped out of a car and start walking in front of me I changed my direction and allowed her to go around the bend but both of us meet at the other end I asked her if she had lost her way but she replied, "I am a witness in a case" She went through the door and I waited until she was out of sight Then I entered the building and went through the scanning machine I crossed the building on the other side and the same woman came out of nowhere and crossed infront of me and I knew that she was stalking me I have never been in a court house before and I have no clue what it was all about I saw my name on a big monitor similar to the one at the airport It really felt as if I was at the airport waiting on a flight I sat in the lounge next to the big door where the proceeding should take place All of a sudden my heart start beating and I start perspiring I could hardly catch my breath my heart was palpitating my stomach was aching and chest began to tighten up I have heard strange stories that the Devil resides in the court house I have even heard that frogs and snakes jump out on judges during Proceedings And of a truth I felt like someone was choking me when I entered that place An oppressive spirit engulf the court house purging kindness out of peoples heart and replacing it with meanness and cruelty I did not have a lawyer or anyone to defend me But I went with faith and God as my defender The oppressive Spirit circled around me my throat was getting dry And when I tried to take a deep breath something was sucking the energy out of me I looked at the people around and they looked like zombies They were staring in space as if the building was going to give way Not a smile on the face not a tear in the eye The door finally opened and everyone entered It felt as if I was in an elementary school hall with the teacher standing on the platform I could hardly hear what she was saying because people were coming and going Finally an introduction was made and my adrenalin recedes the tension simmers down And my heartbeat was normal again The judge came out in his black gown And outline the procedures like an elementary school teacher He was polite and looked like a man of understanding Not guilty, guilty or no contest you can answer he said I asked around to find out what was no contest about but no one would explain to me I asked the white man who was sitting beside me and he explained briefly My name was called and I answered has God instructed me I could have gone all out to defend myself but I listened to what God told me instead The officer was not in his Jurisdiction he was out of order and he had broken protocols When I finally agreed to sign the document he refused and told me that it was too late and took me away All his colleagues knew that he was wrong and they told me to contest it.Of a fact the stickers were on my windshield but I have never been stopped by an officer They only came to look at my truck when the vehicle was parked and they said it was ok This marine officer came all the way from Springfield to another city to target me The judge fine me forty dollars for the ticket and said the case was over When I looked around most people in the court house could not afford a Lawyer They were black They were Hispanic They were Asian They were African They were Middle Eastern They were all people who could not defend themselves The Legal system is business and officers, sheriffs and judges need reshuffling And the ring leader must be taken away I do not bother anyone all I do is pray
