STORM TROOPER OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM
The godlike figure you see
in back of that
imposing District Court desk
they respectfully call "Magistrate"
because any & all
reasonable evidence you present
no matter how logical
will be legally turned against you
so-help-you clever
God of Trust at work . . .
and better be prepared to believe it
pre-gavel slam
you'll be declared
GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY
as long as your hopeful mouth
shall plead.
