Outlandish Courtroom Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Sitting in the courtroom, looking around at all the
people from different walks of life.
Everyone here for a reason - a policeman's ticket -
or to be forced into paying fines of outlandish
exuberance, brought to bear by a judge.
Sitting upon his pedestaled seat, looking down on
everyone in his courtroom, reminding himself that
he is above everyone else, including God.
Passing judgment on people, because rules were
broken that never should've been made law.
This atrocity is given blessings by the cities and
state of Arizona, because that's how their coffers
are filled with money.
Never mind that what they're doing is illegal and
morally wrong, their judges sit in judgement of
those who haven't done anything wrong in God's eyes,
only corrupt laws being enforced by judges, and
policemen.
