Law and Order is a free verse prose, a philosophical muse inspired by wrongful convictions written in 52 words.

Image by me, silhouette of Law and Order.

Law and Order If you wanted law and order; you would suckle on the teat of justice, not feed the people the excrement of tyranny. Justice is not justice without mercy and mercy is not mercy without justice. For no matter how merciful a punishment, it is cruel and unjust punishment to an innocent man. By Josehf Lloyd Murchison
