Our Plea

Be the crime that should be abets 
And I will be the accomplice 
Be the case that should be tried 
And I will be the jury to defend it 
Our love shall be the judge of the trial 
Love on this jurisdiction we vowed 
We defend it today against hatred 

Let me know you like legal maxims 
Aphorism not found by many 
The words that shows prowess 
Like the black law dictionary 
To be able to converse well 
Before my lord at the Honorable 
Gathering of the luminaries 

Let's build foundries and havens 
To melt down all the trouble and hide 
In like metal form stood on the road 
Our love that had stand out many trials 
Liquid metals remolded into golds 
Standing out till time indefinite 
Let me be your case darling
