Nobody Wants To Read And Study The Law Poem by RIC BASTASA

nobody
wants to read and study the law
it if is a scene
it is nothing but snow and a roll
of mountains
roads closed and covered
and people prefer
to stay indoors
drinking coffee or
taking naps

the law does not mind
until something happens to
the numb until someone is
damned

perhaps there is a sudden
death
or a mysterious killing
or someone arrogant just
spit in you and you have no
way of getting even

somehow a rainbow appears
in the sky
after a bloody moon at
night
passed with so much
grieving

then you need the law but
it is too late
the night has come
and you do not know who
is there
on the street running away
