Justice cannot be achieved through financial incentives. Every investigation is in proportion to the victims net worth… And the aggressor’s net worth dictates the severity of their punishment; if convicted. That’s what lawyers do for money. The more money, the more justice for the victims, Equally, more money the less punishment for the perpetrators. And there is little, or no justice for the poor ..

Nothing has changed part two
I could never be a lawyer, Not because I couldn't lie. I can lie plenty, Whether or not it's right. But I couldn't stand to see, When an innocent victim. Gets blamed, And there was nothing I could do, Because the judge can't see.

I'm No Lawyer
Little you gave, but so much you took I gave you my world without so much as a look You cried and leaned and ****** out my marrow Never to see me as a beautiful sparrow You could only see what you were blinded to know Degrees of importance that seemed so far below The ivy I fought against could never be pruned It was never enough for you to notice me soon Reflection has proven to be my valuable friend It saw me though you and gave me my end You could never say what I wanted to hear But for that I forgive You’re still frozen in fear I bid you farewell Finally, one last goodbye The torch I once carried All the tears I did cry Not far from my beginning The home I once knew I wish you healing And to know love again too

Do you suffer From mask lung? Or possibly sanitizer hands? You or maybe a loved one Have ruined life time plans Pick up the phone and tell us now We're at your beck and call Millions and billions sought We'll find a way to get it all Do you have Covid complex? A serious disease Let us go to bat for you And put your mind at ease Have you been made lonely By Government decree? If you answer yes too this it's a definite possibility Did you get the Covid Transmitted sexually? It's very probable We'll do, contingency Yes it's here in plenitude The inevitable point and blame We'll find those responsible In this legal money game So put your faith in us Yes call the number shown Were all in this together friend Don't sue them all alone

Nothing smells, like Litigation and/or Overused Tort
Why do mechanics need manuals when they’ve fixed it before? Answer my question or I’ll walk out the door! Didn’t they attend trade schools or get O.J.T.? Why need repair manuals?  That what gets me. I just want a mechanic who won’t refer to a book. Just fix my car already, don’t give it a second look! Why do pilots run checklists and reference their charts? Just push the dang button and hope the plane starts! Didn’t they go to flight school and pass all the tests? Pilots fly most days, so who needs all that mess? I want a pilot who knows without referencing a chart. Just get on with the flying and prove that you’re smart! What about the doctors who are practicing still? Why can’t they get it right?  And that includes the bill! They’re always researching new studies in journals When time’s better spent attending patients’ internals. I just want a Marcus Welby, Ben Casey or Kildare Instead of keeping up to date, I just want them to care. Why do lawyers review case studies and legal decisions? Such antics in my book leave them open to derision. All that studying in law school should have been enough. After passing the bar they should already know their stuff. I just want an attorney who’s a know-it-all ace, Not a book worm mouthpiece to plead my case. Finally, the poets, being wordsmiths their art You won’t see them referencing a checklist or chart But look, in their hands, just what can that be? A dictionary?  Thesaurus?  Are those what I see? A real poet never needs help reading Shakespeare or Keats Using Webster and Roget would make all of us cheats! If a poet is real, the words should just flow I think that all poets should automatically know The right words to use, and literary crutches forgo How dare they try better vocabulary to hone They should come up with good things to say on their own. I’m looking for poets who’ll just know what to say Like Lewis Carroll’s poems in his heyday: “Twas brillig, and the slithy toves, Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogroves, And the mome raths outgrabe.” Don’t bother looking up his words, for that would be a dumb thing. Using a dictionary or thesaurus, you might actually learn something!

Because “Harm” (cool nickname) and “Mac” (again!) Being both in the Navy and also at the same time Lawyers Are doubly entitled to be officious, full of **** and themselves ****** Yet really are in spite of this entitlement two of the most lovable Lawyers no, Characters no, people no, beings no, spirits in the history of shows at 9pm no, prime time television no, television no, theater no, performance arts no, arts no, art no, human experience wait I think I went maybe 1 too far Plus That short fat chubby guy whose name I can't at this point remember (he's sadly funny) Plus The Admiral who always seems to be at a minimum mildly ****** off at all times reminding us that while “Harm” and “Mac” are off at home near the end of the show enjoying their lives The Admiral will be, (usually) unshown, in the wee hours in his office, pushing the paper that makes the World go Round

Things I know, and all lawyers blow, in and outer space's
Oh the horror and the consequence for mankind disappeared up came the ants, and roaches all of our chips, cashiered The battle for supremacy stalemate went on for years the ants building colonies as roaches build, careers In the end it was inevitable ants just not able to compete the roaches all were lawyers laws, legislation, to secrete "We need to build more cities!' the ants did cry, bemoan but the roaches held the leans and notes and every inch of land and ant, they owned

After the Apocalyptic dance
A murmur of Lawyers show up at my door Shy on thier woes and all a shell of supposed business They brush off their feet and form a bray about the perimeter of the living room It is to be a patterwork of fabrication a dusting of 'truths' and angles a murderwork a carrion of conclusion an exhaustion an enemy a sick thing and I opened the door I invited it in

The courtroom was buzzing, Deals were struck, Before Her Worship Heard from the docket. Will Luke be saved. A line of roguish consorts All on Legal Aid, Paraded before Her, In judical chains. And the lawyers are asking About The Game of Thrones. There are too many cops, All creased and shiny, Carrying file folders, Outling the crimes. I was a spectator, Small in my corner, As Luke went to stand Before his maker, Before his deal breaker. All charges dropped, As if a matter of course; Except for the charges From the laswyer and court.
