New Standards


we petition the courts to hear us

we sequester all the magistrates

we wear our cap and gowns and

powdered wigs to no avail...

we are summoned to the city square

flogged and hung out to dry,

twisting and turning in the night air

like a piece of meat on market day,

we hold no truths in our hands as

may be the case with beggars and

we ask no help from the forsaken,

we are admonished by all the

fathers of the court in which they

have served so admirably...

but we are desperate in our pleas

to be heard knowing that the

statutes have all run their course.
