LAW IS A COMIC RELIEF
Law is a comic relief
Subtlety amidst ardent belief.
Draconian legislation
That still wriggles out an exception.
Pitiless killer
Yet cleverest healer.
Law is a comic relief
Deus ex machina to its own mischief.
Creator of extreme offences
That yet allows supreme defences.
Coercive jailer for life
That still gives freedom for a good strife.
If...
Insanity may be antidote for committing homicide
And intoxication could be a nostrum for patricide
And provocation may be a corrective for matricide
And necessity is a curative for avunculicide
And self-defence is a rectifier for uxoricide
And automatism is a shield for regicide
And necessity is a panacea for sororicide
And fair comment is a cure for famacide
Then Law is just nothing but a comic relief.

O horrible! most unwanted sting
but while thou're inevitable thing
Dragon of evil, never refuse to pay this
coming always wicked unseen jaws
Roaring, hissing, hurled, it came to prey
lad, lady, lone, rode to pray
visiting the toddler, lingering the adult
jamboree sing dirge on candle night
Emissary of patricide, matricide
messenger of fratricide and sororicide
rack and ruin like endless flood
A bier or mausoleum for it victims
ready to be taken to their catacombs
unseen hand knows no one
unseen hand, everyone recognize
