Judge and Jury

Your Honour,

Permission to question the witness?

who gave you the right to wield a gavel

like a toddler with a sword?

I do hope you enjoy your make-believe battles,

How's the cushion fort going, by the way?

to condemn, sentence, acquit

who allowed you to decide justice

yes I simply must know, Your Honour,

if you yourself are a felony dressed up as an

actual

living

human being?

blind as she is, even Lady Justice dumped you

who sat you on that chair, wrote you your script and told you

"wreak corruption and equality amongst them"

to paint a beautiful facade

until the people themselves do not know

black from white

right from wrong

or is it left?

so Your Honour,

I hold you in contempt,

Thank you for your time.
