THOSE WHO CAME
Madame kept
An exclusive list
Of well-heeled clients
None were missed
She held the power
In her fist
In case she was called on
To reminisce
Now she’s gone
By suicide
When the scales of justice
Were applied
Having been found guilty
She couldn’t hide
The myriad of crimes
She had denied
Her lawyer’s listing
Those who came
Even mentioning
Them by name
To expose
And to shame
Them publicly
Just to defame
Past clients are nervous
No doubt
That they might soon
Be found out
It doesn’t matter
If they have clout
Once their name
Gets bandied about
Her lawyer’s listing
Those who came
Even mentioning
Them by name
To expose
And to shame
Them publicly
Just to defame
Madame kept
An exclusive list
Of well-heeled clients
None were missed
She held the power
In her fist
In case she was called on
To reminisce
