Judge Me Not

"Order, Order, All rise" The voice echoes like an aftermath; Bringing a chill to the Atmosphere. As the highest in authority infiltrates the inhabited chambers. to the commoner, I am known simply as Magistrate or Judge; To the elite, Adjudicator, Expert Connoisseur. All walks of life situate themselves before me with one thing customary ILLEGALITY!!! With the aid of my two abettor solicitors, whom have rehearsed their part in this cavort. One to vindicate the appellant, The other to arraign arbitration without plausible dilemmas. listening to the monotonous rigmarole, on and on and on, Mutter, mutter, mutter: The thrill of just banging the hammer, interrupting the nattering and shouting: " LIFE IN BONDAGE, OR TO THE GALLOWS OR HANG HIM TILL HIS DEAD!" Appeals to my better nature. For I see it, who so ever stands before me should suffer maximum punishment; Be he innocent or guilty, he should not have got caught. But, alas, the cat has to give the mouse a sporting chance, Then I will make my judgement swift and quick.......
