unrhymed tercets representing the trinity of a soul in word 

injusices will never be silenced every beating heart has a birthright 

When the sun looks into darkness 
upside down cowboy's lend a hand to chaos 
deserters of faith rejecting lawful behaviour 

Persuading bodies believing something good is created from lies 
deceit has no value with an opinion against the truth 
a human right has been violated by treachery 

When the freedom of speech has been tampered with manipulating senses 
an unjust law is no law at all, words of St Thomas Aquina's 
not a single word defends the innocent today 

When judges support blood sacrifice 
crime is their legal reality and argument 
putting your hands out to help someone in dire need 

Condemns them guilty of a crime how is this just 
hate has taken over justice to speak properly directed 
their convictions are the evidence unto the fact detailed 

To what authority do they stand to plea
in the case that is put before them unless ordained otherwise 
lending an ear to the wise in the Spirit of listening 

How one learns from life's lessons 
I am only a beggar like everyone else pleading for His Mercy 
the evils of mankind not wishing to upset a single soul

There is a certainty of failure when looking for the trinity among ourselves. Enjoyed the read as always Liam...
