Short Courtroom Poems

I’d be fair yet tough
N rule the courtroom
With a iron mallet, fist
Saying order in the court
& sentence killers
N others as I see fit...

Litigators deal with
lawsuits of many types
legal complexities
labyrinths of charges
leading to the courtroom.
Losing cases hurts, but
laurels are due winners....

Idk and here we go
Back for another show
Of morbidity inside
And I will walk out
Of the courtroom
Every time from
Now on say
Stay free CS...

Harry finally had his day in court
  So he wore a dark suitcoat to comport
    But he let go a fart
    Tore the courtroom apart
  A full tank of gas ~ a hole in his shorts...

She slips her feet
Her soft soles
Into high heeled shoes
Rises up into her power
So she boldly strides
Courtroom decides
She thinks it's in the shoes
It's not the stilettos
But what's in them...

Shooting, stabbing
Cheating, lying
In a courtroom
Truth denying
Robbing, burning
Undiscerning
Money launder
Out of order
Drink and drugs
Encourage thugs
Children neglected
Life affected
Feeling ill
Suicide pill
It's not fair
Does anyone care?

Solitude
A seagull’s cry across a beach.
Loneliness
Flowers out of arm’s reach.
Fear
A noise without a face
Frustration
A courtroom without a case.
Anger
Heat consuming fuel
Confusion
Weaponless duel.
Acceptance
You are you and I am me.
Love
Two become one, 
One is now we...

Taken by surprise early spring blooms
Those beautiful flowers
Beheaded in play before courtroom
Trial, frost's killing power

Come and gone Jack the assassin
Leaving death in his wake
This year's beauty now a ruin
Immortal bulbs awake

"I have nothing but respect for him, I will always love him," she professes.
"She is a special part of my life," not to be outdone, he readily confesses.

 Rushing out of the courtroom choreographing their prepared discourse,
 They show to the world their deep love and affection, through a divorce!...

These empty hands
are seeking for the enosis.
Without sea
I'm drowning
without wing
i'm falling.
Sorrows are divided
in shifts 
they are visiting each house.
A treat for a memory.
We look like candle-lights
inside the ocean.
Steamy and lonely.
The wind's blowing
will judge our absence.
A default judgment
in the courtroom
of the night....

They say laughter is the best medicine
to keep away the ills
So from now on I decided to write only lines 
which put away the pills
Donning the role of a courtroom jester
My grey wired cells I began to pester
As I began to brew my soup on the site
My dark world broke with crystal light 
I giggled as the ink began its play
Dancing words so happy and gay

Wallace Stevens was the greatest
man I never knew.
Juggled both Hunting Tigers
and hanging nouns.

Wonder about his demeanor
walking about the courtroom
with even heeled shoes,
focusing on the even keeled beat.

A dozen orbits and 
twice that in satellites
quivering to witness twisted truths,
be they that or not.

Phrased.
Articulated. 
Blatently controlling the room,
his stage....

   Strict Justice or mercy, which would prevail
     The courtroom grew sweaty, faces turned pale

   No one dared leave with the verdict in doubt
     Justice or mercy – Would Truth ever out

   The jurors returned, their verdict in hand
     The foreman, deliberative, made his way to the stand

   Opening the envelope, he tapped the pulse of the room
     Strict justice – or mercy if Hope was to bloom

We are all the children in gods garden
Created to watch over with his all seeing eye
Every saint has a past
Every sinner has a future
A man has eyes for a courtroom
But cannot judge another mans soul
We must learn to play in gods garden
With hearts of free children
With the wisdom of elders
Our pastures are rich ambient and fruitful
We all deserve a chance 
No matter what road we take
Let God be our only judge...

Why was I dead?
Something I said
Letter you'd read
Made me eat lead?

Way you were bred
Always see red
Such a hot head
Reason has fled.

Lying in bed
Anger you fed
Watched as I bled
Night we were wed.

Courtroom you pled
"Not" of instead
Telling Judge Dred
Murdered poor Fred.

No one was fooled
Saw how you drooled
Photos were shown
Corpse you had known.

Cyanide gassed
Made you a ghost
Now you're at most
Pain that has passed....

You can take God out of our schools,
and make praying against the rules.

You can ban athletes from praying before they play, 
because it infringes on your rights you say.

You can inspect every courtroom and hall,
tear down God's commandments from the wall.

You can rewrite the pledge to the flag someday; 
even reprint our money if you have your way.

You can remove God's name from almost everything you see, 
however you can't take God out of me....

I am not angry over growing old , lost in the sea of grass,
what started off as a new bubbling spring has carved it's line's on my face.
It's not the trauma I have endured that has robbed me of my
childhood memories or the friends we all had growing up.

Worried that I have unfinished business here, forced as a ghost
to wander across Stormy seas.
Money is grace on a smooth face every one sees on t.v.
If forced into the chair in the courtroom, I cannot remember why....

Veritas = VAIR-ee-taws 
Aequitas = EK-wee-taws 

I recently watched the Boondock Saints, and their speech at the Courtroom wrote this poem
for me

Truth
Justice
Veritas
Et Aequitas
Two principles which every one lives by

Now do not kill, do not rape, do not steal
All men and faiths
Can  agree
Never
Sin

Evil
Beckons
Those of us
Who do not know
So shepherds we shall be, for thee my Lord

Do not corrupt yourself, for I shall come
If you ignore
My warning
And you
Fall...

Listen to poem:

Permanence becomes a trial
stacked with a jury same as the judge
both demanding a punishment
damning grounds of steadiness

the courtroom has one crowd
wearing masks that look alike
while spectators are kept outside
until the verdict is handed down

two alternatives by the law
stated from the Devil’s script
either life in solitude
or a quick end by turpitude

with no defense in this courtroom
the decree will be applied
adjudication found at last
by the accused upon themselves....
