Courtroom Collides

Another courtroom poem

The courtroom collides,

no one decides,

liberty fails to chase,

once both sides

have loudly argued the facts of the case,

a jury of twelve men and women

picked from a computer list

of registered voters,

the system missed,

the choices with voices

comes from one of America’s most

undereducated pool,

it darkens the city,

and does it without pity,

then the case becomes so s****y,

the jurors will go to a room and begin shouting,

half accusing,

the other half doubting.

You have quite the knack for looking underneath the concrete shell to see the real deal. Great write, my friend....
