A Non-Impartial Or A Prejudiced Juror Poem by Hebert Logerie

A non-impartial juror is as guilty as a criminal
He or she lies, he or she believes in lying
That's absolutely illegal. I am fair and ethical
I believe in justice, the truth, not in hiding
Or diluting the truth with blessed water
I thought that our world was blessed
I thought that we could be and do better
Wow! Things are messy. This a hell of a mess
No wonder so many brothers are in jail
The prosecutors, the public defenders
And the judges will also be partners in hell
God is watching our moves and manners
God is listening to our spoken and unspoken
Words and gestures. The system is broken
It's more obvious than ever. The Constitution
Is a piece of paper, right? I am saddened and shocked
That Favor is doing his tricks to steal the next election
Again, while the voters are typhlotic, aphasic and mocked.
