Love sits in the witness box,
ragged sleeves pulled over its fragile knuckles,
Yes, its voice a mere murmur in the courthouse.
Prosecutor: And what about the sallow allure
of verses written on discolored parchment?
Must we become venerable troubadours
to mourn love’s uncertainties?
Love: Definitely not! We tweet sonnets on Twitter~
text them to unresponsive ghosts who leave them on read.
The heart wails raw, untuned, bleeding through pixels.
What difference does parchment really make?
(Epigram For A Corrupt Prosecutor)
Scales of justice swing so slowly
for your sin,
Snatching silver secrets safely sheltered
skin.
We see your shadow stretch a shady stair,
And mock the ''justice'' sleeping soundly
there.
Chiefs go to prison on corruption Probe for loss of structurally sound inhabitants losing title as civilized in collection of bribes titles laying homeless coverup of criminal intent.
Failure to resign position in timely manners of testimony.
prosecutor is pushing for a guilty verdict.
defense lawyer argues there is no crime, for there is no body.
forensic expert says she must have been killed, due to the amount of blood.
her parents are conflicted.
they want her to be alive.
they do not want her murdered.
they do not want to blame their son-in-law
he has been like a son for twenty-two years.
and he has custody of their five grandchildren.
they feign their support.
keeping their accusatory feelings under wraps.
holding their breath in the courtroom.
waiting to see where this show is taking them
stepp'n down from presidency ~Kamala, de facto nominee
Kamala means lotus flower~accent on Ka,' Zen power
top of the ticket changed~ but the message remains the same
fight for freedom at fifty-nine ~her belly laugh we love, smiles of sunshine
here to stay~as prosecutor put predators away
potential Harris picks~for vice president as time ticks
He’s a very famous shell-man.
Who thought he was coated with teflon.
Can a narcissist be taught a lesson?
By him, the prosecutor and judge were threatened,
could the legal system withstand his aggression?
Yeah, his guilt was proven beyond question,
and now a 34-time convicted felon.
What’s he going to tell poor little Barron?
I doubt the judge will send him to prison,
but there are still some outstanding questions.
Like will his followers shake their obsession?
Will craven Republicans still nominate him?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dawns a courtroom closing in on midday, and a cheery sun
uncovering its place being less demanding--a sage who
dons sufficiently in her vocation that imparts one who bears
a respectable position, and one of a high office--so without
delay, the judge withdraws to his chambers for consultations
with the defense attorney and prosecutor, et al., she then
advances towards the lone defendant from her private seat
in the gallery--an officer of the court, immediately takes
notice of her movements and in anticipation presented her
with a chair for her pleasure--the defendant who sees her,
respectfully stands, whereto, she politely informs him that
he may remain seated and air him in a one-sided
conversation being the soul speaker, and he as the soul
listener. Albeit, exceptions to that disclosure evolved at the
end as there is cause for the conversation to become ironic.

I'm a disease uncurable
I've seen the unseable
I've outlived the livable
I've danced with a crippled
I'm the unfortunate events
I'm the prosecutor of the prosecutes
I've lived through hell
I danced with sin
I pronce my words
a little thin
I'm only human

with a bottle of jin.

Whisper this in your baby's ear
science poses little fear.
Though still primitive and childlike,
it finds first tracks on which to strike.
Billions spent on science research
scantly more than a stumbling lurch.
Bright babies will topple toy towers
as Mom picks pieces up and glowers.
Twisted forces tempt to abuse
having doubts, deny and confuse -
truths used as toys, science as tools.
So the rest can be played for fools.
With all we know of life and earth,
clues about our universe's birth;
each new truth reveals another,
there's so much more to discover.
Few children dare to stare away
while others sit and play all day.
Babies do grow and take the veil;
when they learn, science shall prevail.
122 words couplets 10/2022
Reframing and encouraging the young and old
expectations of science for future advancements.
Albert Einstein quote: "... that all our science,
measured against reality, is primitive and childlike.."
Tom Hofmann, Ben Ferencz Nuremberg Prosecutor
and Peace Advocate quote: "Death was their tool
and life was their toy".
Pen illustration by G. Gaul
A lot of body shifts by an inch,
While vengeful killer teeth they clench:
A prosecutor is addressing The Bench,
Concerning dastardly murder of a wench
By a whisky-soaked German French
Whom he’s sure could also in Vodka drench!
Shovel handy they could dig The Quickest Trench
And from Prosecutor A Talkative life wrench,
His tongue-less corpse for A Disgracing Stench …
And maximally in the next one hour,
They shall all Waiters for Justice devour
Between The Adjudged Sweet and The Thought Sour
All the fine bakery with its flour,
Because read they can the legible unfairness
And God so kind, sharp of awareness.
What’s In A Word
Humor: by Miracle Man
November 25, 2021
Today, much time is spent on word substituting,
we’re currently being asked to cease using the word looting.
Hoodlum sympathizers have deemed it a racist word,
but to me, looting’s appropriate, and much preferred.
Some waste time lobbying on a better word campaign,
but taking from another what they've labored to obtain.
In every sense of the word you've become a looter,
and must plead your case before some prosecutor.
Over time words evolved and many are now taboo,
and being called white privileged, I find offensive too.
But I tend to agree and, as always, a straight shooter,
smash and grab is more refined than just plain looter.
“Fools live to regret their words,
wise men to regret their silence.”
Will Henry
The devil's work shall not be
put off till tomorrow
So en-charges many minions
to do his bidding for him
But just who is the charming fella
A shoulder in the shadows
Stoker of the fire a bellow
Or merely a convenient confidence
to call upon when frowned upon
your actions are by other's
A wicker version of oneself to
the power multiple of Six
In my defence it was not neither
me nor i but he who made me do
it
And though i fought him long
and hard i could not find the
strength nor will or faith to
overcome the darker lord
Well that's ok with a twinkle
in his eye said the prosecutor
to the baying congregation
As if what you said rings true
and are as faithful as you say
then be it only left up to god
himself to place his judgement
upon thee
But be prepared heaven help you
if you are not because what depths
of hell awaits you
Because if the devil is all he
is supposedly made out to be
then surely he hates it and takes
it far more personally than god
when his name is used and
taken in vain
If one believes in either or
Damned if do
Damned if don't
Desolate I sit Lonely I lay
Shackled and in solitary
I try to make another day.
My crime - taking a prescription that wasn't written for me; I thought it was legal, signed by Dr. Society.
A variety of ways I was given to comply,
Harm, Step on, and if necessary Lie.
Caught in a crime of the worse sorts,
I looked close at the prescription before going to court. Not recommended with God or spiritual growth, Mixing with Jesus could cause an overdose.
Symptom being confusion in the worst way, Finding it hard to get through another day.
Now I was ready to go to court;
Defense in hand and a chance of sorts. I got out of the car and to my surprise
A sign before me read "Jesus will again rise."
t 'What kind of court is this? "1 say
I heard a reply, "The court of a better way."
Prescriptions are not written and judgements are not passed.
Desolation is removed and shackles never last.
Inside you might see your prosecutor. "Dr. Society";
Just remember it makes no difference because you don't have to agree, A Life Sentence here lasts for Eternity.
