Thief

Thief

 

 

 

the gems of justice

tarnished jewels

confiscated and replaced

with counterfeit amazement

diamonds once pure

cut to the quick

serrated edges cut the legal system

in odd sketches

 

like poor plays

that sound good to a blind audience

the jurors will be folded

into his pocket

Location of the stolen property

that once showed a balance of truth

 

the judge is connected to the sentence

a dangling participle

with leanings

let us proceed

 

there is the greater good of the country

to aspire

as we threaten to hire a madman

and liar

 

to lead us into oblivion

even worse than the smithereens

we have already seen.

Not a whole lot matters anymore at all. Greed controls all, no matter what side of the tracks you sit on. Nicely done though...
