Love Poem: Pleadings

Pleadings

Take a quick notice sir

Was my mother that was disturbed?

Or were the ones who swept her away

Were they the ones who were insane?

No wait I have more to tell

Yes I will keep it out of hell

With my eyes as you were told

I saw them still a child’s soul

To where you ask I cannot say

For there I was not allowed to stay

For  those who swore that I was wrong

Had kept me jailed all along

So please sir I ask for your quote

So I may retaliate on all who spoke

Spoke their words of unjust laws

Then punished me for their flaws

So please sir but another moment of your time

Here’s my payment forgive me for its all in dimes

Pardon me sir but it’s your job

To find the ones who have been robbed

Is this a lie I will try and prove

But the judges here won’t let me move

Some judicial fraud they said

Then what’s the truth is all I beg

Pardon me for I do place blame

On Only the thief who is insane

And the advocates who hands are still

Claiming rights to all your quills

Yes I’m sure their hearts are true

BUT WHAT HAS LUST DONE FOR YOU
