law school

Early 20s

Was the time,

I was finding my niche

In the career world.

 

I was a new graduate,

With no definite plans

I just wanted to be a lawyer

And basically that is.

 

I passed the entrance test

To law school,

So excited to buy books

And devote my time reading.

 

I was too idealistic,

Stubborn as well.

I was counting the eggs

Before the chicken hatches them.

 

First day in law school,

Criminal law was the first subject.

Have done advance reading,

But then the judge was not impressed.

 

I was ridiculing him

For the issue back then

Was the judges as hoodlums

Because they were accepting bribes.

 

So as stubborn as I am,

I try to question his integrity,

About his stand regarding the accusations.

About his peers who were being indicted.

 

Never had I seen

A judge’s fury

It was the first for me

And probably the last,

 

He told me

To drop from law school,

Telling me I don’t have

A future in law.

 

Good riddance,

I was kicked out by the dean

Due to insubordination

And disobedience.

 

I said to myself,

If they can’t even prove

Their integrity as persons,

What more are the civilians?

 

Since then,

I never thought of

Law school again.

Good for you, you have to be true to yourself and your beliefs ..

[sette]

yes definitely true my friend

[Neville]

Good account of what I imagine are recollections of your own personal recent history... I applaud you for standing up in what you believe in... my son studied law for almost three years and gave it up unexpectedly saying he did not feel able to defend those he believed to be guilty.......a good bit o self disclosure friend...

[sette]

yes he and i shared the same belief which made us realized that it is not for us

[Neville]

better to realise early than too late..

That is just crazy that you were treated like that! I'm sorry to hear that, since what you really wanted to do. In sure you will find something much better that will make you happy.

[sette]

yes i believe in that my friend

it seems that a large part of law is arguing & debating what is twisted "right" and "true" which is why you probably had trouble dealing with it. you are probably not suited for making arguments and debating. integrity seems to often take a back seat in law. it makes one wonder who the real criminals are. good riddance ... :)

[sette]

that is so true i cannot lie, i am quite good at debates but then principle and integrity counts more

[Coyote Poetry]

I don't know. Sometime negative people should make us fight harder. Would be nice to have lawyers with pride and honor. I do believe. Life take us to where we belong.
