Courtroom Drama

Courtroom Drama

My, my what can I say?
Back in court for one more day.
Mr. Nathaniel showing his stuff.
Upset the judge that was very tough.
Waving at his friends like he was in school.
Disrespected the court now that was not cool.
“Detain him since he wants to play,
Let’s keep him here”, was what the judge said.



     Nov. 26-07 My son Nathaniel had  to go to court to answer previous charges 
on trespassing. In stead of him sitting still and facing the court. He was
watching his friends on the other side of the wall and waving at them and 
smiling. The judge didn’t see anything to smile about.
I have to return on Friday with documentation showing why he was not in school. 
He was suspended from the school district for carrying a knife and we had to 
wait for a hearing. Talking about perilous times.
Please keep us in your prayers.
