How can a Lawyer defend
The undefendable?
How many times can you bend the truth
When is the truth unbendable?
How can a Lawyer look the Judge in the eye?
And blatantly lie,
It is not commendable.
It is difficult for the truth to understand,
Why?
Is the Lawyer guilty too?
Stating that the truth is another lie
It makes one wonder about the law,
What were the rules made for,
Not to be broken, that's for sure.
When did the truth become a lie?
In court the other day.
A lawyer said this could be so
As he brushed the truth away.
I did say, "Lawyer."
Although I found it inconceivable
When a respected man of the law
States lies, and the truth is the same,
Unbelievable.
Welcome Sir Slurs Alot
The bravest of the brave
Keeper of the law
Defender of the undefendable
Hated reviled
Potentialy convicted by his side
Still he steps up to the bench
Looks the Judge in the eye
He hopes the jurors will be wise
His sharp mind used like a sword
A hung jury his reward
All he needs is one person to doubt
He talks low lets the prosecutor shout
If they like him
Their minds may sway
Laughter a tool the facts his clay
Molded to his story of probable cause
He understands his way around laws
In the end it's a thankless career
No one wants the poor guy near
A dragon slayer a really brave guy
Battles are won because he trys
Hail to the Dragon Slayer Contest
