A little piece I put together about the lies behind the justice system…

If you knew what Lady Liberty saw,

in the realm of American law,

the deceit has been standardized,

the letters in the Constitution caramelized,

inside every major courtroom,

Civil Liberties are doomed,

there’s always an attempt to make

justice seem clean and professional as possible,

good judges always makes good decisions,

and bad judges make poor decisions,

that could be true every now and then,

but time and again,

the lie must be maintained,

it lifts the strain,

and the lies are embedded like a dirty stain,

and justice leaks, liberties drain,

and only the people could feel the pain.

    You sound like you have been burned by the justice system. But most poetry is a work of fiction…I’m assuming.
