maid
of uncivil law


see you affront your eyes
the balance scale the civil legals dropped
accruing foul and flaw
the high court statue holds the fail
unbroken in distruth
so falsely proud of rules
to gloss defence unsaid

one side ignored is not a neutral test
except it's just
to parasitic eyes

the bride of parliament has kept her scales unswept
to concentrate on cleaning rules
as life is born in red rotates to death
as crime takes history to war and wreck to strife and rape
the maid of law is shining grime

look
burn the rot
make clean the darwin glass
the nation's moved
catch up with us
run fast
