In the courtroom, solemn vow, herald of truth's sine qua non, Justice pleading, no one hears, lost in pain, of young child's fears. Verdict rendered, here avow, sentence meted thereupon, Judged by jury of one's peers, 'mid sorrows of a young child's tears. Courtroom walls hear silence now, both judge and jury gone, Still remains a young child's fears, drowned in pain of justice tears. [This message has been edited by Mike (edited 03-22-2001).] |

Strong writing with a powerful and sad ending. Very well written, Mike. "When people show you who they are, believe them" |

There is reality to these words, you obviously know of what you write. Enjoyed |

Such a heavy burden, one we all should bear, my friend, to protect the child before this sort of poem needs to be written. I know from whence this comes, and send my thoughts your way. Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Mike~ *Hugs* from this heart to yours. It is not easy to sometimes see the injustice of justice. Well written, my friend. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

There are certainly times when we'd like truth to supercede the "justice" system, aren't there, my friend... I know how you labor over these cases... and I pray it all works out... Take care...  |
