Shirley Hawkins Poet Rhyme

Foregone Conclusion

If no lawyers will take a case,
Because lies they won't embrace
How can they defend anyone
When they know in advance what they have done

If anyone is indefensible
How can a Lawyer defend?
Lawyers are not indispensable.
Their careers can quickly end.

It's a waste of time and money,
To take a guilty man to court.
It can cause more corruption,
Especially if a Lawyer can be bought,

As some can,
And the lies told free a guilty man

It seems a foregone conclusion,
When a person is as guilty as can be.
That they go to prison
Or plead insanity.

Rico Leffanta July 27, 2021 at 11:54 AM What is more absurd than surveillance cameras recording a crime/murder and the perpetrator claiming, "Not Guilty"? Shirley Hawkins July 27, 2021 at 5:44 PM Waste of time and money putting the cameras in. Too many bare faced liars.

Caren Krutsinger July 26, 2021 at 8:26 PM This is why they have to LIE to their lawyers, Shirley. "How can they defend anyone When they know in advance what they have done" Shirley Hawkins July 27, 2021 at 5:49 PM Too many bare faced liars. And too many people accept money for lying without thinking about the consequences ...
