so what to do
when faced with courts
believed corrupt
the arguments of lawyers
are reputèdly superb
their clever pose
can talk
a jury into saying
“the birmingham six
they did that bomb”
when all they did was cards
it helps
was fixed
the evidence
of course
no advocate
would aid in that
corruption
burns the soul
once you’ve broken conscience
it doesn’t die
even strangers note
a smile and reflex tick
you’ll have no repair
you can’t depend on history to lie
you’ll never able calm
soul demands you
avoid corrupt
but if you stay away the court
aggressing credit pushers
or local clockwork men
or chancers on a vampire trip
will legal blag your property
golden showers
or freedom
mister jones next door
or ghandi christ the buddha
property or soul
which would you prefer
