Judge and Jury

IF I may approach the bench; Do not hold in me in comtempt, Do not judge me with your plantiff eyes, Ive sworn to the truth And married the lie, Ive given the facts; Proclaimed my innocence. You threw the book at me, Too soon. Im too late, Let your bitter judgement rule... Why am I on trial? I plead only on the basis Of this hung jury, You've made up your mind And I cant change ignorance... I can just appeal. There's no justice in doubt, No doubt the in the truth; Bang your mallot, Hang up your robe; May I suggest a plea bargain? We agree to disagree.... But you've already cast my fate: CASE dismissed.
