The Corrupt Judicial System, Hillsborough County, Florida
the air reeks of stale coffee and ink-stamped lies,
judges sit like smug kings,
smirking over lives they'll never live,
dismissing truth with a gavel's cough.
innocent men shuffle like cattle,
faces drawn, hands calloused from the grind—
plead guilty or rot waiting.
'justice, ' they call it,
while the lawyers get fat off their despair.
the court stenographer types it all up,
the lies,

Judicial airs, musical chairs
If lower court grants bail one day,
High court stays, saying oh, no way,
Ah with judicial airs
Courts play musical chairs,
And the top court then stays the stay.
Too bad, justice delayed
When weighed, weighed and reweighed,
Perfection still remains at bay.

To a Superior Judge
I could not do what you are mandated to do
every day on society's justice bench,
weighing retributive justice
against restorative healing.
I cannot look with any comfort
at police
and correction officers'
routinely criminalizing vocations,
and courtroom injudicious levying of fines
against the young
and black
and brown
and homeless
Punishing prison sentences
for the most obvious trauma victims
of chronic blue-shirt bullying,
theft,
not really clever lies,
racial profiling,
diminishment
and derision

N not based on all the charges dealt...
D decision of not guilty laid.

M maneuvers to escape court rules,

I insured to shield a certain

Judicial Depression
I’m more motivated today,
Trying to find a simpler way.
To beat the judicial system,
Must appeal to someone’s wisdom.
That’s laughable to say the least,
As the judicial system, is quite the beast?
No easy way to start again,
As they’re in charge, of where and when.
They’re forcing me to run away,
I have no other place to stay.
All I want, is

A Judicial Opinion
A druid's interpretation of forefathers' declaration
There shall be twixt Church and State a separation
There shall never be a separation twixt God and state
This "over simplification" of what they said cuts through
and shreds all of The Magnificent Arguments lawyers
judges and atheists have put forth and causes this latest
Supreme Court decision to be considered treason
What
