Pleadings

Take a quick notice sir Was my mother that was disturbed? Or were the ones who swept her away Were they the ones who were insane? No wait I have more to tell Yes I will keep it out of hell With my eyes as you were told I saw them still a child’s soul To where you ask I cannot say For there I was not allowed to stay For those who swore that I was wrong Had kept me jailed all along So please sir I ask for your quote So I may retaliate on all who spoke Spoke their words of unjust laws Then punished me for their flaws So please sir but another moment of your time Here’s my payment forgive me for its all in dimes Pardon me sir but it’s your job To find the ones who have been robbed Is this a lie I will try and prove But the judges here won’t let me move Some judicial fraud they said Then what’s the truth is all I beg Pardon me for I do place blame On Only the thief who is insane And the advocates who hands are still Claiming rights to all your quills Yes I’m sure their hearts are true BUT WHAT HAS LUST DONE FOR YOU Pleadings Lorraine Aldredge Peterson Dedicated to DCSB of America
