I Rest My Case

Men brood their loss and lie in jail
until their patrons pay their bail.
And then they lie upon the stand,
arresting truth on shifting sand.

To Mandy, not a problem. You can congratulate Danna'lynn on her choices. I've done the same, when making comments on several poems in the same contest. Have a great day regardless, these 12+ years hence.
