Beyond All Reasonable Doubt For J.T Ellison Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg

Can it be that you believe?
that justice is what you receive.
If you submit your case to court.

It ought to be but it is not.
All thought of justice is forgot
bogged down in legal argument.

Though you have right upon your side
Although you know the witness lied
it does not mean you’ll win your case.

You cannot prove his words untrue
so there is little you can do.
and at that point your case will fail.

Justice is blind and can be found
outside the court with her eyes bound.
Because she cannot bear to see.

The happenings inside the court
Injustices of every sort
No justice just a travesty.
