Poem
Which fish The scuba diver Is going after? The big one Or the small one? Which sheriff Is on trial today? The petty one Or the pretty one? Everyone must have its day In the Kangaroo Court. Real justice is not a myth; It never creates descent or grief. It a fact that it is easier to execute The innocent resident Than to prosecute The corrupt superintendent. All thieves must be handcuffed. A trial can be long or short, Depending on the main actor. It is mind-boggling, it is tough To understand the demeanor Of this odious prosecutor. The mass-murderer is on the loose, Sipping wine and walking like a moose, While the unarmed homeless is shot to death, For littering, for selling meth. Is this justice? Is that right? The real pacifists must always fight. Thank God, the true democrats Will never stop chasing the bad cats, The fat mice and the aggressive rats. The evidence is palpable and the facts Remain overwhelming. Which thief Will be prosecuted? Which big fish Will be convicted, In this Kangaroo Court? The public despises something short, However, a simple and fair trial is acceptable. We are all liable and responsible. All crooks must be prosecuted fairly, And justly to the fullest extent of the laws. Justice must go after the cats with the long paws First, because it is obviously Easier to go after the small pimps. Bring the flashlights and the giant lamps, So we all can see better, and clearer. The sun and the moon are on strike today. Look, the criminals and the guards are at play. All conscientious citizens are in great danger. Which fish The scuba diver Is going after? Which thief? Which sheriff? Which chief Is on trial today? Which one is walking away? Which one is enjoying a great day? Copyright © September 13, 2014, Hébert Logerie, All rights reserved.
