Let the decision stand

The sphere of influence is as big as the globe "To stand by things decided" We're obligated to follow precedents What happened before the cold war, Influences the decisions made in today's courts Questions and arguments rise for this principle Yet echoes of the dead say "let justice be served" "Stare decisis" Is it up to scratch? It ensures uniform application of the law Not like any random inconsistent policy, The law is as consistent as waves kissing the shore To let the decision stand is to be class And class is permanent It does not consider the environment Though there is a little space for improvement Law deals with precedents Just a different time of incidence Our lives are guided by how our ancestors were judged Case law, went through criticism and survived No one is above the law! We shall live by it Stare decisis!!
