Premium Member Is the U K still a democracy '

Is the UK a democracy.? Or has it slid to an
Un-sound autocracy.? Where a sucession
Is handed down.' And this not soley of the
Crown.? 
When did due proven process,  and the peoples voice? Become trampled down.?
Along with freedom of the electorates choice.' How can any such rumoured move be
Sound, what former precedent be found.?

Red Light Legal Loophole

The world's oldest profession
is considered a crime
yet only the females therein engaged
are arrested fined or serve time
to all concerned
it's a business transaction
ain't nobody's but their own
providing satisfaction
money's the motive
with payment surrendered
and they have the means
for services rendered
but altho' the women may not have been kissed
if all involved are consenting adults
a victim here does not exist

Terms and conditions

Terms and conditions apply,
They create rules, for us to abide
Terms and conditions apply,
Made for a black person to survive
Terms and conditions apply,
For the most basic human rights

Terms and conditions,
Made only for our existence,
Not for protection,
But for the sake of our oppression,
To keep us under surveillance,
Monitored by a legal binding - 
To make sure we ‘behave’
And not break a contract,
Only their hands signed

Terms and conditions,
Used, to excuse their obsession,
With policing our every movement
Terms and conditions -
To legalise their racism


Premium Member Free Legal Advice

When you're framed for a murder you didn't commit,
and you're being asked to answer for it,
and the judge has asked a jury to sit,
and you're hoping that they will be split,
but you know that you'll soon be strung up,
or, possibly, electrically lit up,
just scream to yourself, "Wake up, wake up, wake up!"

Premium Member Tale of a Legal Immigrant

   My wife was a legal immigrant to the USA
     She waited years to receive the OK

   Fired from her job in the USSR
     She ate only potatoes for a whole year
   Stripped of her citizenship, she lived in constant fear 

   Came here, got four months of rapidly declining public aid
     Took ESL, computer courses, babysat – she was truly self-made

   Today she’s a high-level business analyst at Blue Cross
     And in our happy home ~ the undisputed boss

Legal Eagles

'Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! all stand,' 
said the bailiff before remand,
as legal eagles had looked for loopholes,
flaws in the law,
large enough to lose a lorry,
is that what they became lawyers for?
If I had taken their advice,
blindly handed out to me,
I'd have gone directly to jail,
if not in a trice.
Attorneys, barristers, solicitors,
ambulance chasers,
searching for victims
so they may litigate,
seen one you've seen them all,
what's not to hate?


Legal Fruits

Fruits fallen from
The neighbor's land
Can be eaten.

Premium Member Delayed Justice

Delayed justice is better than no justice.
The world will always be round.
Facts cannot be altered; prejudice
Is a major impediment to reach sound
Justice. Justice is all we want,
Fairness is what we fight for,
Justice is what we cry for,
Fairness is what we want.

All lives are special.
All God's children are beautiful.
All colors are essential,
To make the rainbow normal.

Justice, Justice is what we want,
Fairness is what we fight for.

Equality under the law is critical.
Equal shade can only make the rainbow
More beautiful and more impartial;
No justice will always be a Big No, No.

Justice is what we cry for,
The truth is what we want.

The world will always be round.
Finally, we can hear the sound
Of the bells. Justice is around
The corner; she is upward bound.

Delayed justice is better than no justice
In this sick and crazy world of injustice.

Premium Member Keep It Legal

Keep It Legal
Miracle Man
4/22/2024

Illegal Immigrants are taking our land,
because our president won’t take a stand.
We need a changer,
to end this danger,
but instead he insists on lending a hand.

Legal Truth

Defamatory words that fail to become legal truth for they are unproven in a judicial proceeding may just be some foul spits on open air... Yet, not every legal truth is real truth...

UGANDAN JUDGE AT ICJ WHO VOTED AGAINST THE LEGAL TEAM OF SOUTH AFRICA

as the Ugandan Judge at ICJ , 
Julia Sebutunda voted against South African legal 
team 's case at ICJ ,
which portrayed the genocidal
actions of Israel troops 
in Gaza. 
The entire Africans astonished 
to be betrayed by one of their daughters
 who failed 
To understand the consequences  
of Apartheid in South Africa 
and Colonisation in entire Africa.
Imagine , 
Only Judge Julia stood to defend genocidal actions 
While others judges approved the demands 
of South African legal team which portrayed 
Humanity.
How do oppressors will respect Africans
when a top Judge like Julia  thinks 
of her stomach than Humanity?
Oh! Judge Julia come back to your senses
as quick as possible.
Remember more than 26.000 people
who already died in Gaza
from October 2023 
to January 2024. 
Humanity 
       And Humanity 
must be the popular lyrics for Palestinians
 in the World.

Premium Member Power of the Ballot Box

To live with victory won by the sin of cheating,
corruption becomes physically manifest -
unethical, corrupt political leaders might triumph,
and our Constitution and National Security put at risk.

Our legal Absentee Balloting process could be unlawfully 
augmented with millions of “mail-in” ballots
“box-dropped”, harvested, and delivered to political operatives
for conditioning along with rigged machinery - fixing the vote.

Upon hiding or destroying all evidence of planned 
unlawful voter frauds in several key States,
the Cheater’s Manifesto, “There is no evidence”,
would be preposterous.

Lies will have consequences.
Corrupt, lawless politicians 
will live in fear of voter retribution 
and God’s ultimate judgement.

Pray Constitutional law and world peace would survive stolen power.
Pray Election reform and integrity would save us at the given hour.

Premium Member The Stooge and the Vixen - In Trumps Own Words

Bragg's just an ass, a poor leftist stooge
Bought for in full by the Soros machine,
Why target me when he knows he will lose
His obvious intentions malicious and mean.

As to that Stormy, a vixen indeed,
She's now named me ‘Tiny’ can't clearly be true,
Her one claim to fame fueled by greed
The day I first met her is the day I now rue.

But let them come on these little red ants,
For they fail to see that if their venom may sting
Their incredible ravings and irascible rants
Provide the real juice to make my fans sing.

In chorus the cry my name in support
The Trump flags unfurled throughout this great land,
Denouncing the wrongs of my reign cut so short,
Making it known where each of them stand.

I've said it before but I'll say it again,
They stole what was mine for the very last time,
But this go around I'll make it quite plain
Whatever they throw will fade just like slime.

Premium Member The Jury

High school's like a jury - let us all be judged
the righteous and the wicked and especially those in love

The jury's always watching - it has a thousand eyes
it's in constant deliberation and it hears a million lies

some think there's popular immunity and that's how the system works
but celebrities are piquant targets - it's one of the systems quirks

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury - I address you here today
to plead the cause of justice, for a girl who was drugged astray

I know this girl’s not popular - she's known as "what's her name"
But the *prominent* guy who “seduced” her used methods vile and lame

I work cloud-like opinion and gossip pointedly outside stalls
I direct lunch-time chatter and I'm "overheard" in busy halls

I'm a regular Bader Ginsburg - you WANT me on your side
and If I'm coming for you - there's no fu*king place to hide

Legal Fiction

"Legal Fiction "

Black Skin, dark desires.
Lewd behavior and carnage,
thus we do not achieve?

Comprehend why we are loathed, we inherited voodo that placed a hex on the moon.

Our heroes were never heroes simply zeroes, the dream of Martin Luther King, the nightmare we live in. Malcom X was a terrorist, the lies he preached terrorised the nation.

Lesions left by the whips that tried ed to discipline and tame the beasts within us.
Slavery was an intervention to free a nigga from the demons that make him a leper and an abomination to God's green earth, therefore he should be chained, victimized and eventually decapitated.
