Many a time, truth can be relegated to the back burner of justice, guilt exonerated and innocence indicted and accused, when, in fact, it should be the reverse.

There seems to be a feeling,

Some lawyers, out of hand,

Rock the very foundation

Of justice in our land.

Consider this awful notion:

They even may eschew

A simple, glaring evidence

Of guilt so plain and true!

Spinning a fabrication

Opening another door,

For the jury to consider

Entering a technical flaw.

Challenging the evidence–

Vehemently refuted,

That the jury might consider

Somewhat convoluted.

When justice itself is on trial,

Puzzled laymen wonder

How such lying lawyers

Tear true justice asunder!
