Notes About The Poem

* Canada's national motto "From Sea to Sea" crest hangs above judge in courtroom

A Mari Usque Ad Mare

The judge sits
Solemn and orderly
Weighing salient points
Juggling facts
Deciphering nuances
Pondering implications
On justice and righteousness
Upholding the law of the land
A mari usque ad mare*
Rendering verdicts
Remotely somewhat
Inspired through time
By King Solomon’s wisdom
