Poem
No one can imagine the horrors you've seen The terrible events that must appear in your dreams You can rarely share the evil you've seen It must encroach your soul, your entire being Defending a tourtured evil soul Takes courage, knowledge, devotion, a goal Trying to fight for a murderer's life Because your love of the law, gives you your might It's strengthened you, toughened you, wore down your heart Putting others before you, you'll go down with a fight Never judging the crime, the person, the soul Fair treatment to all is your only goal. Following statutes,motions and cases before Devoting your all, deserving much more It takes courage, thick skin, and love of mankind To sit across many of the evilest minds Doing the best job defending their crimes Takes a person that understands what's inside their mind Putting yourself in a mind such as theirs Must have its consequences over the years Yet you plug on defending these people for years No one allowed to see your real tears Your compassion for victims, children's lost lives Must be buried inside, fighting for the other's lives Your rarely given praise by society it seems Even though what you do must affect all your dreams I'm proud to say that my brother will fight Even for those that don't respect life. It takes a special person that chooses this life that you live For the freedom of unjustly accused all your time you will give Even if you save a few that weren't bad The emotional toll on your life makes me quite sad. For in the end whether or not you have won Your caseload continues it does not sound fun. It takes character,finesse intelligence too To continue defending is what you must do.
