Best Civil Law Poems
Justice adjourns in Civil Law.
All must hear my voice.
I entered the Court Room insecure.
I stand as he enters the room.
The Judge begins deliberation.
Justice adjourns in Civil Law.
The injuries I have are the cause of litigation.
My pain is stated via face.
I entered the Court Room insecure.
In God’s speed, I trust.
Confidence begins to enter my person.
Justice adjourns in Civil Law.
Focus on the Defense brings more confidence.
I stop self-doubting.
I entered the Court Room insecure.
The case was heard.
The Judge submitted his Opinion and Order.
Justice adjourns in Civil Law.
An abuse of discretion
An error in Law
I entered the Court Room insecure.
Justice adjourns in Civil Law.

~This is not a typical Villanelle. A villanelle can be atypical. This villanelle is atypical (not traditional 19 lines) because it has 22 lines (w/o spaces counted) but is perfect to rhyme scheme. Note: However, a villanelle needs no particular meter or line length, so I was free to experiment with the form. Villanelle is terribly obsessive and brings out the emotions of any neurotic writer.
~Please read About This Poem!~
In turning from yellow now to red he stopped at the light
Avoiding any such dread in accordance as to what is right
A simple law we all agreed and no matter our own desire
None of us would just not heed no matter how late or dire
And thank God for such sight everyone aware of this law
In stopping at that red light it makes it much safer for all
But if even just a few disobey we would have need to fear
As then maybe one day in front of you they suddenly appear
All laws are made for a reason and most benefit us greatly
It's only when there is treason that the affects you soon see
But Spiritual law is greater than any civil law you can name
The consequences of the Creator is why He gave you such shame
Better off running a red light than upsetting the One Above
All that He said is right and done out of complete Divine Love
But you have freewill and you may choose whatever you decide
Yet here it is yourself you kill in not making it to the other side
Eight Minutes, Forty Six seconds is all it took
For another black man's life to be took
Now look at how,
History is re-writing itself
New civil law right books
Will soon be placed on the bookshelf
A nation Suppress
A nation Distress
Will only make nations vex
It's time we ADDRESS
The things that makes us STRESSED
Mankind was not created to be Cruel or DEPRESSED
We need to Confess that we are OBSESSED
By making others feel Useless and OPPRESSED
Eight Minutes, Forty Six Seconds
Another Black man is dead
All it took was for someone to lose his head
That's what I read,
Another black man abused and dead
Within seconds the news was spread
Another Black man blood was shed
At least that's what the news said,
Officer lost his head
While victim laid unconscious and dead
Eight Minutes and Forty Eight seconds is all it took
For another Black man to be abused, shot and dead.
