Best Courtroom Poems

In the witness box
pathologist Cox 
a seasoned witness quick on the draw
the lawyer, no rookie
a rather tough cookie
with a weak defense was clutching at straw

As a last resort:
"Your post-mortem report 
shows the deceased resisted attack."
"Surprisingly, M'Lord
he looked rather bored
and certainly gave me no flak.

"His eyes...

The Courtroom
As I sit here in the courtroom
I see others who are filled with doom
But for me I’m not to nervous
For god provides me with a great service
He reminds me things could be worse

Courtroom…Again
Back into the courtroom I go
All the personnel I seem to know
I’m really sick of playing this game
Coming here over and over gets really lame

spilling verbs on...

Mr. Nathaniel showing his stuff.

Let’s keep...

Groundless accusation I have yet to discern
Though it seems the world has already done so
I am by fault a timid being
Created, it seems, by...

If our hair was on trial
And it was called to testify
And tell the truth
Of what the world put it through

It tells the stories
Of all the hairstyles
That it was

It starts with when it was cornrows
It takes the jury back to the fields
Where the blistering heat
Sucked the...

He was barely an adult when he was entered into the system
He was an educated law abiding citizen
But due to the fact he was black
It was sympathy they lacked
He faxed a lifetime of imprisonment 
And an impending death penalty 
All because he was at the...
