To argue your perspective in a concise and eloquent manner in court. Those who lob false accusations must continue to lie and try to tear down the truth. Yet, the beauty of trails of paper and properly kept records, when the evidence is not against, but in favor of you: Why harbor the heavy conscience? When the burden of proof is truly no weight for you, For the innocent bare no responsibly to prove that they are such and feel nothing but indignant for facing trumped-up allegations. Who would not feel anger? Rather, those who bring forth the issue must beyond a reasonable doubt prove the accused's culpability and convince others of their guilt resolute. Especially in those cases of collectives versus individuals, As in cases brought against or by the many state & federal apparatuses around the globe, Or as in the cases of employer versus labor. In natures both competitive & cooperative, Romantic & platonic; By many chandeliers & candelabra Do we each tend to different flames, But the fires burn the same. In innumerable different ways, The things we say are indistinguishable Even if they are misinterpreted or mistaken. The things we say are often the same, But either wrongly said or poorly received. How much is simply the cause Of grave miscommunication?

Hostile & aggressive speech On the behalf of any individual/party, By any speaker. That a man is presumed innocent And with that he is given The benefit of doubt, The burden of evidence Lies on the accuser. But first the case Must make it before the courtroom And stand trial under judge and possibly jurors. Wherein if things were perfect And this were some utopia; Honest & fair judicial proceedings Without differentiatons or distinctions, But a base which takes into ruling Merit of the content of character And possibility & potential. Less rushing, greater depth of dialogue, and fitter tailored. Asking, "What would I have done?" Saying, "What should I do?"

It's easy to talk like you know it, To portray that you have good insight And possess an informed perspective. To pretend that you're knowledgeable, Considerate, introspective. At least, it sounded smart in your head. Something was lost in translation When it was finally written or said. I assure you I really do care And I can explain why I don't. You must have misheard me Or not have understood me, I was the one speaking So I think I'm the authority on the conversation. Despite you having me dead to rights, Clearly in quotes, I demand for denial & the presumption of it As I maintain my innocence. That is fake news, misinformation, And a misrepresentation of the situation. Totally baseless claims & pure speculation. Whatever lies at the root, Regardless truth. I'm sorry you feel that way but, Despite any piece of evidence, That's just your opinion. These are politically scientific opiums, These noxious feral serums Poison the whole of living, Whether local or national As collective or individual. Hostile & aggressive speech On the behalf of any party/individual, By any speaker.

You know, I'm pretty sure I could watch you for just a minute, the most fleeting of moments, and find a hundred reasons more to fall in love with you. I catch myself staring all too often, eyes tracing over your features as I try to understand, even just a little bit, this spell you have over me. I'm not speaking of swooning over the curvature of your clavicles or tumbling down into the depths of your green eyes. Though if I'm honest, I love all those cliché things too. No, baby, you see, I've fallen quite madly, for you, wholly, mind, heart, and spirit. It is the very essence of you that causes my ardent adoration.
