A Fly on the Wall

Halls of justice full of gloom
criminals and victims in every room
Some hide their face, others sly 
Glaring at others with a stink eye
Guilty and innocent, a mix of fears
Torment is pacing, verdicts bring tears
A silent witness, no words has thee
invisible to all, but large eyes do see
Who are the guilty, in justice hall
Ode to be a the fly on the wall.

Great job! The stink eye phrase made me giggle! I tried this one too! Good luck in the contest!
