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 © John Chinaka Onyeche
